Solitaire for Ghosts

The ghosts of Hollow Lane play solitaire every night, and they would like you to join them. The only catch: leave a card alone for too long and it fades back to the other side.

• Klondike rules with a haunting twist
• Let a card go on purpose to dig out what's under it, but mind your spectral stability
• A daily graveyard deal
• Eleven ghosts to befriend, each with their own house rules

The goal

It's Klondike, drawing one card at a time. Build the seven columns down in alternating colours, cyan (♠ ♣) and coral (♥ ♦), and lay all 52 cards to rest on the foundations, ace to king. Finish before dawn, and before your spectral stability runs out.

Haunted cards

• Every so often a ghost haunts the top card of a column, and a countdown starts. On a standard night it's 25 seconds.
• Move the haunted card, or cover it with another card, to save it.
• Leave it, and it fades into the crypt. The card beneath turns over.

The crypt and stability

• Stability starts at 100%. A fade costs 8%, letting a card go yourself costs 5%, and each new card laid to rest gives back 2%.
• To uncover a card, use Let a card go in the crypt, or drag the top card of a column onto the pack.
• Lay two new cards to rest and the oldest captive is freed. It becomes your next draw from the pack.
• Free early spends 8% to free a captive straight away.
• At zero stability the night is lost. Dawn comes after 30 minutes of play, and that ends the night too.

Nights and the daily

• Each of the eleven nights has a host ghost. All but the first bring a house rule, such as Draw 3, two haunted cards at once, or no letting go. Win a night to befriend its ghost and unlock the next.
• The Graveyard Daily is one deal a day, hosted by a ghost chosen by the date. Play it on consecutive days to build a streak.
