Solitaire
Supported by Greenwall Foundation
Solitaire is a narrative experiment that exploits the fun of a game and the challenge and satisfaction of telling a good story. Each card in the Solitaire deck contains an illustration and a short text. The user selects the texts he/she likes and clicks on the text: “Add this line”. The selected text is automatically moved to the right side of the page, where the user can see it and the texts selected thereafter in the order in which they were selected.
