About Us

A small site built around one game, played properly.

Why Josephine

Most solitaire sites offer a hundred games and explain none of them well. We wanted the opposite: one two-deck patience, implemented exactly to its traditional rules, with the rules themselves written out clearly and illustrated move by move.

Built for the rules, not around them

The game on the home page plays Josephine as it is documented — two decks, ten tableau piles, eight foundations, same-suit building and one pass through the stock with no redeal. Nothing has been softened to make it easier to win.

Free and open to everyone

No account, no download, no advertising interruptions. The game works the same on a phone as it does on a desktop, and it remembers where you left off.
