About The Solitaire Conspiracy
The Solitaire Conspiracy drops you into a cyber‑punk spy thriller where you command Protego’s fragmented crews using a tactical solitaire system. Analyst Jim Ratio guides you as you wield suit‑based powers to outwit AI spies and reclaim the agency.
After the story’s climax you can select from five distinct modes, from a narrative‑driven campaign to an endless Skirmish arena. The game blends original FMV storytelling with strategic card play, all wrapped in a stylish indie package.
