Love this post and going to re-read it. I have been playing scrabble with my teenage kids recently. I asked them to think in “God-mode” and let’s discuss what/how we can change the rules of the game to make it more interesting/dynamic. Some ideas discussed was total thinking time allocated, idea of chance cards (like monopoly), ability to exchange tokens and some others.

We can learn so much from games and I like how you are reframing solitaire. Please develop further as it makes it easier to communicate a lot of your write up on Sun Tzu and also makes it kid friendly!

Thank you for all you do.

Glad you enjoy. In the next month, I will be covering the other four types of solitaire in the Microsoft version. I have been playing these games six days a week for many years as part of my workout routine. I have thought about how both the strategic lessons they teach and how they can be redesigned to become more strategic. Hope you enjoy.
