Solitaire City (Mac Version) - Yukon Longplay - Rule 1: Yukon
Embark on a solitaire adventure in the wilds of Yukon! Can you stack the cards in your favor and conquer the icy tableau? Lol, seriously, Yukon is another tough one. While I believe it's mainly a skill-based solitaire game, much depends on the initial arrangement of cards in the tableau.
[I.D.: A gifset containing four gifs of the first person detective thriller game Keyword: A Spider’s Thread.
Gif 1 shows two scenes. One scene is of the player lifting the blinds on a window, showing a night time view of a neon-lit cyberpunk city. Another scene focuses on a silhouette of a large figure sitting against a darkned sky while a red ring sits behind it like a halo.
Gif 2 shows a close-up of the player filling out information in an order window. The window is labeled “SHIPPING INFO” and the Street Number is entered in as 3336, the Street Name is entered in as Queen, and the Unit Number is entered in as 703. The player then clicks on the “order” button in the window, causing the screen to zoom out to reveal a sushi website. A new window pops up saying “ORDER RECIEVED!” as its title, with the additional message, “Your order has been processed, please watch your window for delivery!”
Gif 3 shows the player standing at a computer desk. The player picks up a photo frame, which moves closer to the screen to be examined in detail. As the photo is rotated, the player has the option to Take Notes or put the photo away.
Gif 4 shows a text message conversation between a stranger and Sala, the player’s daughter. The stranger’s text bubbles read “I finally found you. You looked very really pretty last night :)” to which Sala’s text bubbles reply with “WTF. Who the fuck are you.”
