Description
From the creator of Sage Solitaire, comes a new Solitaire variant that breaks all the rules!
100% of deals are solvable!
Like its footwear namesake — Flipflop Solitaire is unrestrictive, creating a new game for fans of spider, klondike and other traditional Solitaires.
In Flipflop you can stack down, up, or even both ways on a single stack!
Need to stack an 8 on a 7, or a club on a spade? No problem!
- but -
Be careful, you can only move a stack of a single suit!
It's fun and freeing, but still challenging and captivating.
It's Flipflops for your brain.

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
Flipflop Solitaire is sort of a sequel to Sage Solitaire in the sense that it's my second crack at the design problem of making a Solitaire game that feels like it was designed for your phone and not for a table.
To be honest this is how I wish everyone approached sequels. Usually a sequel takes the solution to a problem and duplicates it. This is why our expectations of game sequels are often more-of-the-same-but-better. I'd rather see more sequels that brought a renewed level of surprise and novelty, and I'm hoping that's what you find in Flipflop Solitaire.
While Sage was all about trying to capture the feeling of a tight, easy to play, tough to win, zen solitaire game, Flipflop is about knots.
In a typical Solitaire game, like Klondike, you're taking a knot of cards and untying it into sequences. Then you reverse those sequences into clean ordered stacks.
In Flipflop you take your knot of cards and tie it into other, hopefully better knots. Then you untie those knots into the final ordered stacks. Having so much control over the way your intermediary knots are constructed led to a lot more depth than I expected.
I hope you enjoy this game as much as I've enjoyed discovering it.

Ratings and Reviews
Great game but…
I play this a fair bit and have done for a long time, I consistently play single suit and extended single suit to try and get as fast as I can, currently I’m ranked 3rd on the extended single suit (42 seconds) and until recently I was ranked 6th (I can’t exactly remember because of the issue I’ve now had) on single suit for fastest time (30 seconds) though it’s more like joint second with the other people on the leaderboard who had the same time, the issue is that now my time doesn’t count, it’s been a longstanding record of mine that I set quite a few years ago and have been working towards beating, I understand removing times that appear to be cheated or hacked such as 15 second times that were there previously but the main issues are that I now cannot get back on the leaderboard as I can’t actually beat my own time to tell the game that I’ve set a new record, meaning my genuine time is lost as it was removed from the leaderboard and since 30 seconds appears to be the upper limit of what’s possible in the game (the best I’ve achieved in recent times is between 32-34 seconds) I cannot get back on the leaderboard
Great game but..
The ads!! This is an amazing game it really is but I got this when it was relatively new and the prices were quite high but I thought as a new game that’s necessary to be able to pay wages and fund further updates. However, the longer I’ve played the more ads I see and the prices haven’t gone down at all.
The main - if not only - ad I’ve seen for the past few months is the ‘Matchington Mansion’ one. This is extremely annoying not only because of the repetitive music, painfully slow hand and lack of common sense but also because you cannot skip this ad and you cannot close it without opening it in the AppStore.
As I said I love the game I think it’s great for killing time or as a distraction while the family discusses politics but this really lets it down and usually causes me to turn it off.
Great game but buggy ads
The game itself is fantastic, slick UI and never really gets boring.
The ads on the other hand are quite annoying in the sense that they're buggy. I've played this a lot and pride myself on my stats (I know it's just a game). Sometimes I'll start a game, go in to ad, after this I actually start my game but music from the ad will carry through, even outside of the app. The game then crashes and it counts as a loss.
Also for post game statistics, it would be cool to get an overall average time taken/ moves.
