Tesseract Mobile’s new Solitaire card games for Android devices features innovative dynamic playing card designs by Laura A. Ockel. We are seeing the consummation of playing card design and mobile technology. This new card style adapts depending on whether a card is exposed or partially concealed. A partly concealed card displays a small index and suit symbol along the top edge, whereas a fully exposed card shows a larger index and stylish suit symbol embellished with delicate scrollwork. The dynamic change permits an overall minimalist design with reduced visual “clutter” and a look that is delightful to behold.

The app contains over 100 different solitaire games and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store here

The dynamic change between styles allows for an overall minimalist design with reduced visual "clutter" and a look that is delightful to behold on any device.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
