One Armed Robbery: Low Rent Edition!
A downloadable game
One Armed Robbery is a 2021 Solitaire game designed to be played on public transit, and thus can be played without a table (for the most part) while holding all the components in the player's own hands. The game was originally intended to be played with a unique deck of 13 cards, but this new version reworks the rules slightly so that it can be played using specific cards from an ordinary Poker deck! So if you have a deck of playing cards laying around, you will be able to play this game! Wow!
I do actually consider this game to be my magnum opus as a game designer--I particularly like playing it at work, since it's a good way to reduce anxiety during busy hours. Hopefully it helps you too!

Really cool game, pretty easy to pick up !
I just have a question about the reserve: the card in reserve has to be used upon drawing a 3, is that the only way to it back ?
Ah, no--you can play the card whenever you want if you're holding it. Excuse me, when I have a minute, I'll clarify that in the rules.
this is a phenomenal (and tricky!) solitaire game. i was honestly surprised at how much depth and strategizing there is for only thirteen cards, and once you get used to how it works its really addictive! im glad you made this version, because learning how it works and how fun it is makes me really want to print off a dedicated deck :^)
Wow! Thank you so much!
