What to Expect
You play Ivy, the new owner of a magical inn, placing cards into a grid each turn to tailor your B&B to eccentric guests. Guests have preferences like "diagonally adjacent", "same row" or "surrounded" that score at game end. The Story Mode adds scenarios and rewards for meeting point goals and completing challenges.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed exclusively for a single player (players.min == 1). With a playtime of about 20 minutes it's a compact solitaire experience suitable for players aged 10+, offering short tactical puzzle sessions rather than lengthy campaigns.
How It Works
Enchanted Ivy mixes Tile Placement and Pattern Building: you place cards into a grid to form patterns that satisfy guest requirements. Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game elements provide modular objectives; in Story Mode you earn rewards for reaching goal thresholds. As a Solitaire Game the core is optimizing placement across short runs.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Sarah Joshua, the game pairs a cozy magical inn theme (Theme: Gardening; Hotels, Inns, Lodgings) with scenario-driven solo play. The Story Mode's mission structure distinguishes it within short solo tile-placement titles. No awards are listed.
