Charlie and I love playing Solitaire during Free Time on Sundays. I can’t wait to let Charlie know Solitaire has changed. They have added Equality Cards. I can’t wait to see what he thinks about the games.
Solitaire Bliss, a free popular gaming website with half a million unique monthly players. They are adding a new addition to its site for the first time ever, Equality Cards in order to promote gender equality. This new feature is now available for all gaming features on the site.
Essentially there will be three game modes which will allow the player to choose from: King first, the classic game where the King is the highest-ranking card; Queen first, a new option where the Queen replaces the King as the highest ranking card; and finally the Equality option where for the first time ever on the site, the King, Queen and Jack are replaced with the numbers 11, 12 and 13. In this option, the drawing of the Queen and King still appears, however, they both represent the #12 and #13 playing cards. New decks will also be introduced incorporating the theme of gender equality.
“It’s a small detail that is taken for granted but the more we thought about it the more we realized how important it is and we decided we wanted to allow our games to represent a more equal world. So we started working on more options for players who believe in gender equality, like myself, and that’s how we came up with the idea” remarked Renee Weisberg, Marketing Manager of Mongoose Net who recently joined the company in August 2020.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
