How it works
Race the board instead of waiting for turns
Classic turn-taking does not fit Klondike well because each player is solving their own board state. VS Solitaire works better as a race and score comparison: both players make Solitaire decisions in parallel, then the result decides the match.
- Progress feedback shows the race without interrupting the board.
- Score and time make close matches easier to compare.
- Replay video gives the result a shareable artifact after the match.
Rules
Keep the rule set obvious before the first move
The cleanest VS matches agree on Draw 1 or Draw 3 before play starts. Draw 1 is faster to learn and easier for casual players. Draw 3 is stricter because stock order blocks more options.
- Use Draw 1 for mixed-skill friend matches.
- Use Draw 3 for stronger players who want a planning test.
- Use the scoring guide when comparing serious leaderboard runs.
Growth loop
Turn a VS win into the next match
A completed VS game should not disappear into a private result. Share the replay, send a beat-my-score link, or point players to the fastest-player tracker when the run is good enough to show publicly.
