Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
the presentation is great, love the graphics and the music, and not much to say about gameplay, it's solitaire, but it was a breath of fresh air to play the old-school version (or close to it) after countless +1/-1 titles with power-ups and other gimmicks (which I also love, of course). since all the cards are facing up, you can plan ahead a bit, but it doesn't trivialize the experience.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I will never be smart enough for zachtronics puzzlers, but I love solitaire, and this is an excellent one. no story, no goals, even though I prefer to have some generally, just the solitaire you might've played to death as a kid (or adult) because it came with windows.
