Two similar solitaire games, in which you move cards of higher or lower value onto the Foundation pile, in order to clear out the deal pile.
Uintah features four foundation piles, whilst Wasatch only contains one.
Game Concept - Gordon Bower
You can Play Uintah and Wasatch in the Shoebox.

A blank slate, this morning, as I try to come up with a Shoebox game to do.
I did consider getting back to finishing off The Quest, but every time I look at the code, the whole thing seems to be larger in scope than I ever imagined it might be.

As is tradition for my birthday, SpikeDislike2 is free on iOS today.
If you don't already have it, go and grab it, and then have fun disliking spikes.
MeanwhileI posted this Monday's game, last night, already! I figured today probably wouldn't be a very productive coding day, so thought I should do something quick, and ended up with another Solitaire game for Shoebox. Monte Carlo Solitaire is in the Shoebox's Card Games, and I'll do the bloggy stuff later on, whe...Views 94, Upvotes 32

OK, I THOUGHT (according to comments on half-a-dozen websites) that the issue I was having with the cache was a "Leave it for 24 hours and it'll magically update" one.
I've left it for about 28 hours, and still Edge Chromium isn't updating the spritesheet for the game, thus... For me at least.. None of the sprites for Handlink are showing up.
They ARE showing up in Firefox, Chrome and iOS Safari.
So, um. If you're in the mood, give it a whirl and let me know what happens for you.
