November 5, 2026 · 1 h 48 min

Show notes

You discover a rare disk for a banned video game from 1995 at an estate sale. You pop it into your computer and revel in the nostalgia and campy taboo vibes of Forbidden Solitaire! But before you realize it, something about this game seems amiss, and your sister who you texted about the game is suddenly very worried for your safety. This game is a blast from the past in almost every way possible. And while there are sinister secrets to uncover, who doesn't love to kick back with some wicked solitaire?
In Episode 74 of No Small Games (which was originally supposed to be Episode 75, but don't worry, Creature Kitchen is coming in two weeks) we dove into this retro horror solitaire adventure, from the developers behind Home Safety Hotline. Kate reveals a shocking solitaire confession and Emily just deeply misses her emotional support Klondike card formation. It's a silly, slightly gross, very meta, and totally tubular good time!
