unlabelledView post →Woo! We just got a green tick for Steam Deck for the original Regency Solitaire. I have a core engine for all my games so after we made the sequel fully compatible it wasn't much work to get the tick for this game too.

unlabelledView post →I did the meme. The second game is Regency Solitaire II released in 2024, which is 29 years after the first solitaire game.
unlabelledView post →If you can stay in business a long time you may get some interesting results. For example, only 28% of Regency Solitaire's sales on Steam were in the first year. 72% were in the next 9 years. store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R...

unlabelledView post →Hi! I updated Regency Solitaire earlier today with better Steam Deck support and some other improvements. In fact I updated THREE GAMES today, woo! store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R...
unlabelledView post →In the past week I've updated 4 previous games on Steam *and* our new game Shadowhand Solitaire! 💪💪💪 - Regency Solitaire (2015) - Shadowhand (2017) - Ancient Enemy (2020) - Regency Solitaire II (2024)
unlabelledView post →Wowzer, we launched our 16th game earlier today! If you liked Regency Solitaire, you'll love this. bsky.app/profile/grey...
unlabelledView post →I emailed Valve a couple of days ago to ask for a daily deal for Regency Solitaire II, 97% positive, 176 reviews. They said no. Anyway, here it is, 37% off, it's a lovely game! store.steampowered.com/app/2137470/...
unlabelledView post →Our most recent game, Shadowhand Solitaire, is a about an aristocrat turned highwaywoman in 1770! 40% off in the Steam sale, more if you already own both Regency Solitaire games. store.steampowered.com/app/3199380/...
unlabelledView post →We did our first 80% off sale on Nintendo Switch and made the SAME money as when we did a 75% off sale. I've found similar on Steam on the rare occasions we tried it. Then in Jan we had NO sale and made MORE money, which is interesting. Niche game (Regency Solitaire).
unlabelledView post →Regency Solitaire II is #5 game on Big Fish Games Deutsch site. Nice!
unlabelledView post →Congrats to the IGF nominees/hon mentions. We entered Regency Solitaire II (on sale now btw) but didn't really expect it to get a mention. It's our 15th game and the BEST game we've ever made, it's really nice, but not really IGF material: store.steampowered.com/app/2137470/...
unlabelledView post →FORBIDDEN SOLITAIRE Vibe: What if the Windows Maze Screensaver was haunted ...and also, Solitaire? It's got the same mechanics as Regency Solitaire (same developer) plus the crunchy '90s graphics of the Dancing Baby GIF. And also, the meta-layer of "oh no this game is haunted", which is always fun.
unlabelledView post →Why the fuck was Forbidden Solitaire my favorite game of the night lol From @greyalien.bsky.social ,maker of Regency Solitaire 1 & 2, Shadow Hand and many more And the developers of Home Safety Hotline comes the only solitaire game I will ever play Go try it store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/...
unlabelledView post →If I died the same age as Jane Austen, the last game we would have shipped would've been Regency Solitaire! A strange coincidence. Luckily I did not.
unlabelledView post →We are just 14 reviews away from 500 for Regency Solitaire. If you haven't reviewed it, we'd love a review. Many thanks! store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R...
unlabelledView post →Shadowhand Solitaire is coming soon! Be a "land pirate" - a highwaywoman, in 1770 England. This game plays like Regency Solitaire but has a different historical theme. Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3199380/...
unlabelledView post →Hello are you an "influencer"/streamer/press and would like a Steam key for Regency Solitaire II? If so, please let me know :-) It's a very nice game. You'll like it. Shares appreciated to reach more influencer types. Thanks!
unlabelledView post →Not only does Mythmatch sound awesome, but my own baby Regency Solitaire got namedropped (gamedropped?) alongside the wonderful Strange Horticulture 🤩 Thanks @keefstuart.bsky.social, made my day! www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...
unlabelledView post →Hi, we are 19 reviews from getting 500 reviews on Steam. If you ever played Regency Solitaire, it would be great if you could leave a short review. Thank you! store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R...
unlabelledView post →Very nice Solitaire
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's as if someone asked, "What if we could charge six thousand dollars for the five dollar game Regency Solitaire, but hide the cost behind eighteen premium currencies?" This is part of why I am really turned off by any game with a free to play model, period. It's always worse and more expensive.
unlabelledView post →Also sorry I was slow to follow a bunch of you back. Anyway, I've done it now! We are still working on Regency Solitaire II btw. Finalising and balancing the levels at the moment which is a fun part of game dev I think.
unlabelledView post →OR! you can get Shadowhand AND two other fantastic solitaire games by the same devs, Regency Solitaire and Ancient Enemy, for just $8.60. all three are great on their own and a total steal as a bundle. store.steampowered.com/bundle/6129/...
unlabelledView post →Hello! Yes it's pretty nice around here :-) Here's our latest game, Regency Solitaire II. Thanks! store.steampowered.com/app/2137470/...
unlabelledView post →I am not press or influencer, but I was a huge fan of Regency Solitaire and this is the first I am learning that there is a sequel. Just when I need a new chill game. So maybe some of you should check this out?
unlabelledView post →speaking of fmv, there's GOD I LOVE GAMES THAT USE FMV IN THEM Forbidden solitaire is the incredible blend of the solitaire game devs behind Regency Solitaire and the horror-fmv geniuses behind Home Safety Hotline. That's a winning fucking combination, one i'm dying to try. Looks evil!!
unlabelledView post →In hindsight shipping our card game (Regency Solitaire II) one day after Balatro was a mistake lol. Perhaps if we had shipped it a week or two earlier more people would have noticed it.
unlabelledView post →For new followers: Hi, I've been an indie dev for 20 years and shipped 15 games, most recently Regency Solitaire II: store.steampowered.com/app/2137470/... Currently working on Shadowhand Solitaire, a casual version of our previous turn-based combat Shadowhand game.

unlabelledView post →My entry for the One Page RPG Jam came to me in a flash of ridiculous insight and I simply had make it real. A game about building a romantic fantasy story by playing solitaire over and over again (with, of course, much love to Regency Solitaire) evelorien.itch.io/romantasy-kl...
unlabelledView post →What's there to do when you're tired of replaying your favourite soulslike over and over again? Well, obviously, why not indulge oneself in a hand of solitaire? Order Bella's life by renovating a heirloom mansion and finding her true love, all while laying cards on a coffee table. Jane Austen approves!

unlabelledView post →Easy to play solitaire game with a charming Regency romance story. Takes about 5-6 hours to beat; I played through twice, once on normal and once on the hard difficulty. There's a house scene to furnish in between the 20 "chapters" of the game - most chapters have 10 levels but the early ones have between 2-5 levels. Nice game for chilling out when you've got a few minutes here and there, as none of the levels have more than about 40 cards, so it only took me a minute or two to play a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have you ever noticed a game losing reviews on Steam? Regency Solitaire has been at 495 for ages, then gains one, then a week or two later it goes back down to 495. It's weird. Should be at 500 by now. store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R...
unlabelledView post →Did you ever review the original Regency Solitaire? If not, we'd love a review. We are only 53 from Overwhelmingly Positive, which would be so great. Thx! store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R...
unlabelledView post →As this week's Game Pick we have the newly released puzzle indie game Regency Solitaire II by indie dev @greyalien.bsky.social. Take a look!
unlabelledView post →"Regency Solitaire" is a Regency romance solitaire game. I must admit, I was astonished by the level of detail it has gone in this game in regards to the historical era. The neoclassical style is all around, along with romantic elements and baroque influences. The music couldn't far astray from the art, so the use of classical tunes is perfect. Same goes for the voice acting, which is superb! The vocabulary used in the dialogues is old-fashioned, thus, it fits like a glove. Attention has been…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please wishlist Regency Solitaire II. We were inspired by the beautiful coastline where we live for one of the chapters in the game. bit.ly/RS2SteamPage
unlabelledView post →Wonderful, different, engaging card game! This is the most I've paid for a card game and it's been worth it! The story is fun, the vocabulary quaint and true to the times, the art is very pretty and earning the furniture, paintings and such to the ballroom is fun. The game itself has goals to achieve--stars, gold coins, combos--for each hand. It's not too challenging, especially if you stockpile your jokers and wild cards as you find them. The background music is lovely and calming --something…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute solitaire game! I enjoyed it. The story was cute/short and sweet, but the main focus was the solitaire, so I don't mind too much that it's very predictable. Cozy game for those that are insane like me and decide suddenly "ah yes solitaire I haven't played this in years why not open the microsoft pre-installed thing-" and then (have someone else) go "NOOOOO NOT THE MICROSOFT PRE-INSTALLED THING". Hard mode truly is challenging! I haven't played normal mode funnily enough so idk how big the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nicely chilled game to relax the brain for when one doesn't want to play stressful, challenging, and complex games such as Elden Ring or Shadow Empire.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice! Yeah o had Blitz Basic 2 at the time then in 2004 I discovered Blitz Plus for PC. Made 2 games with it then switched to BlitzMax and made loads including Regency Solitaire. Our new game is made with it too. It’s great!
unlabelledView post →Can't stop playing Regency Solitaire on Steam Deck. No idea what secret sauce @greyalien.bsky.social has put in this game but enjoying this rather a lot. store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hello, if you played Regency Solitaire I or II and didn't leave a review yet on Steam, we'd really love one! Even a very short one. Thanks! store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R... store.steampowered.com/app/2137470/...
unlabelledView post →Anyone feel like reviewing the original Regency Solitaire on Steam? We are 32 away from 500. Thx! store.steampowered.com/app/351090/R...
unlabelledView post →WHY isn't there a robust regency-era romance Austen-styled game? The only one I know of is freakin Regency Solitaire, and it's adorable and fun and all but come ON. There aren't even VNs about it outside of mobile platforms, much less puzzle games or an RPG or sim.
unlabelledView post →OK something I can blow my money on after I launch a hit game. If people want a cheaper experience they can buy Regency Solitaire II.
unlabelledView post →Easiest way to put it, it's solitaire with an overall mid story. It would be nice if losing matches changed the story in some way giving you a bad ending, but it doesn't. It's an overall simple game and something to play when you don't feel like stressing or thinking about anything. Get it if you want to casually waste time.

unlabelledView post →Very fun game. Enjoyable and the upgrades that you can buy add an extra layer. Some levels are challenging (due to the random card layouts) but you have unlimited retries. I also enjoyed the thank you message that shows when you beat the last level, nice to see that this game is made by just a husband and wife!
