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►

Above: screenshot of “11s Up Solitaire” in landscape orientation. The cards behind have smaller numbers and suits, which harmonise with their larger counterparts.
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.
