What exactly are the rules in calculating the Guild Standing? If it’s adding the cards’ values, it seems too easy to win. If it’s counting (and not calculating) the cards in the Standing pile, it seems a little harder, but then also is worded a little unintuitively.

That aside, I really enjoyed the game! Solitaire games get pretty boring quickly for me, but this has been a challenge I enjoyed trying to beat! Thank you for creating it, as well as giving it out for free! I’m about to try the retheme next :)

Edit for another question regarding unintuitive wording: do all cards on the shelves that match the Used one’s suit, go in a “free offer”? Or a choice that I can make?

Good catch, I’ll add some kind of wording like “Count the cards in your Guild Standing. Use that number to determine your final score from the scoring chart.“ instead to indicate the count (not values) represent your final Guild Standing.

Yes, those that match all count as $0 as a restriction you have to play around (blame management and their crazy promotions!). So they’re really only worth it to trade if they’ll give you Guild Standing (and even then it may not be).

Thanks, I see! I was aiming for higher value cards for the Standing in my first playthrough, but I see I was chasing the goal somewhat wrongly.
