Solitaire gets a glow-up as Flick Solitaire enters Steam Early Access with an exclusive Inscryption deck
Let’s be honest. We’ve all been there: bored on a Tuesday afternoon, firing up that dusty, pixelated Solitaire that came with every PC since the dawn of time. Well, get ready to trade that in, because your go-to procrastination station just got a vibrant, art-filled upgrade.
Flick Solitaire just launched on Steam Early Access today (October 1st), and it’s here to breathe new life into the classic card game. It’s free-to-play, loaded with gorgeous art from diverse indie creators, and feels incredibly satisfying to play.
A Curated Art Gallery in Your Pocket
Forget the generic playing cards of the past. Flick Solitaire is essentially a playable art gallery. The game launches with over 70 unique decks from a huge range of talented indie artists, including the chaotic humour of Cyanide & Happiness and the distinct style of Rex Crowle (of Monkey Island fame).
And here’s what makes this special: Flick Games ensures every single artist is credited and, more importantly, paid. In an industry where creative work can be undervalued, it’s great to see a studio actively supporting the community. It gives you a great reason to want to collect every last deck.
A Spooky Surprise from Inscryption
To celebrate its PC launch, Flick Solitaire is kicking things off with a crossover we didn’t know we needed. From day one, you can claim an exclusive, deliciously creepy deck from the cult-hit horror game, Inscryption. It’s the perfect touch of something unexpected for your chill card sessions, and it’s completely free to collect at launch.
What’s Under the Hood?
So what else is new? Here’s what you need to know:
- The Flick Mechanic: The core of the game is its incredibly satisfying flick motion for playing cards. It’s tactile, responsive, and a little bit addictive.
- The Classics, Refreshed: All your favourites are here—Klondike, Spider, Pyramid, and Elevens have all been given a modern touch.
- Attention, Streamers: A built-in “Streamer Room” feature lets your viewers unlock cards live on stream with you, creating a fun way to interact with your community.
- Play Anywhere: With cross-platform login, you can sync your progress between the PC and mobile versions, so your collection is always with you.
We’re obsessed with giving solitaire the love it deserves! After five years crafting a cult hit on mobile, we’ve been desperate to bring it home to PC, this is our love letter to the millions who grew up with Microsoft Solitaire – familiar play, but now with a satisfying flick, indie art in every deck, and a very special Inscryption collab to kick things off.
Ian Masters, CEO/Founder of Flick Games
