Rangoon is a game of solitaire with all of the 52 cards faced up. Though all the cards are shown, and in spite of its simple rules it is a challenge to find the strategy to complete a game.
After shuffling the deck, the cards will be laid down face up in four rows of 13 cards each. Subsequently the kings are taken up, and put down in front of the rows. The object is to rearrange the cards such that each row contains one complete family (the cards of a suit in the correct ranking: King, Queen, Jack, Ten, …., Three, Two, Ace). Rearranging is done by using the four vacant places which were created by moving the kings to the front. A card can be moved to a vacant place, provided that the card is ranked with the card in front of the vacant place ( e.g. the 6 of spades can be moved behind the 7 of spades). By moving another vacant place pops up, which can be used to move a card to, and so on.
The game is ended when all vacant places are behind an Ace or behind another vacancy, so no more card can be moved. This solitaire enjoys some popularity in the Netherlands, and is known under various names and in various flavors. The program of Rangoon supports a number of variants.

Another thing that really makes Rangoon v1.22 enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Rangoon v1.22. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
