Thank you so much for bringing this up and for kickstarting the conversation with such a thoughtful question! We absolutely understand where you’re coming from. The overlap between halflings and hobbits was something we had been considering for a while, and your suggestion really resonates with us.
We’re actually in the process of making some updates, and I’m happy to let you know that we’ve decided to replace halflings with elves. We feel this will bring more variety to the character selection and add a fresh dynamic to the game world.
Once again, thank you for sharing your ideas—we love hearing feedback like this from our community! Please keep the questions and suggestions coming.
Thanks for catching that—we hadn’t noticed the playkit issue until you mentioned it! It’s been fixed now, along with a new playkit and an updated version of the book. The Archetype instructions got a big upgrade too, so definitely check it out!
We’re so glad you’re enjoying the game, and if anything else comes up, let us know.
Omg I was trying to start over, now I also have an artist, but I forgot and cannot find it back in the rules. The first card you pick is the season and after that you only pick the things from that season until the season is over (deck is done) and then reshuffle for the same season untill the season is over after couple shuffles?
Thank you so much for reaching out! It sounds like you’re really immersed in Solitaria, and I’m happy to help clear things up.
The Artist Archetype: You’re right that “The Artist” is an archetype listed around page 38-39 in the rulebook. If you’re having trouble finding the specifics, just keep in mind it might be further along.
Which season you’re on: You choose which season you’re currently on. Currently there’s no rules/instruction to first determine which season you’re in.
How Seasons Work: Yes you are right. The Main Deck of 52 cards is used to track the passage of time and seasons. You’d keep drawing from the current season’s deck until it’s exhausted. Then, reshuffle and continue drawing for that same season until the required reshuffles are complete. For example, the Season of Glow lasts through three reshuffles. You can find this rule under Time Management: Date in page 62.
I hope this helps! If you need more clarification or have any other questions, feel free to reach out.
Thank you so muchh, in the meantime I already have 26 a4 on word written with pictures and all the decorations I made in it. I love it alot. Still lots to learn. But eventually you get there. Still have to figure out how you actually meet people in the game and how and when to trigger it and all what comes with it, but that is it. Have bought a lot of things and on my third day what I am gonna write today I have to harvest for the first time, so Worth is coming in haha!
Wow, thank you so much for your wonderful message! It’s amazing to hear how much you’re enjoying Solitaria, and we’re honestly blown away by the fact that you’ve already filled 26 pages with pictures and decorations! That’s so impressive—it really shows how much heart you’re putting into it.
We know there’s always something new to figure out, like how to meet people and when to trigger events, but that’s all part of the fun, right? It sounds like you’re diving in with so much enthusiasm, especially with your first harvest coming up soon! Once you’ve harvested and added more items to your inventory, you’ll be able to unlock even more exciting things in the game and explore new places—it’s only going to get more rewarding from here.
Thank you again for sharing your experience with us—it means the world.
Thank you so much for reaching out—no need to apologize! We love hearing your thoughts and questions. 😊
You’re right that the current edition of Solitaria doesn’t include specific mechanics for character birthdays. This was a design choice, reflecting how birthdays are often shaped by relationships and personal connections.
That said, we love your enthusiasm about making your character’s birthday special! It’s a great chance to add a personal touch to your journey in Solitaria.
While there isn’t a dedicated birthday feature yet (your suggestion has sparked some ideas for future updates!), we encourage you to create your own celebration. Here’s a simple guide:
Consider Your Character: Think about their personality and relationships. Would they prefer a quiet reflection, a lively gathering, an adventure, or a relaxing day?
Plan the Activities: Here are some ideas:
Sunrise Meditation: Begin the day with a peaceful meditation at a scenic spot, perhaps guided by a wise islander like The Mystic. Reflect on the past year and set intentions for the next.
Stargazing Picnic: Pack a basket with your character’s favorite treats and enjoy a quiet evening stargazing with close companions. Share stories and make wishes under the stars.
Treasure Hunt: A close friend hides clues leading to a special surprise. Use the Fate Step mechanic to add challenge and reward.
Potluck Feast: Host a gathering where islanders bring their favorite dishes, creating a casual, communal celebration.
Birthday Festival: If your character is well-connected, islanders could throw a festival in their honor with games, music, and storytelling.
Gift Exchange: Close islanders bring meaningful gifts, using the Gifting mechanic to determine their significance.
We hope this helps inspire you! We’d love to hear about your character’s birthday celebration, so feel free to share it with us.
