Database fix.Automatic backups for save game data in case there's ever a catastrophic failure.This is a minor update which addresses a potentially serious issue which could have affected people playing Star and Serpent Solitaire on two (or more) different Steam accounts.

Localization fixes.Added new information to FAQ.Added new usability improvement: clicking the gold counter now also opens the treasure chamber.Added new store item: trash removal service.
- Minor Update: Version 776 - 26 February 2026
Fixed 8 of swords, which had incorrect large pip symbol in Minchiate deck.User request: Added new launch argument: --allowanycardinblanktablesWith this launch argument empty table slots accept ANY card, not just Kings.WARNING! Using this argument can make the game too easy and less enjoyable, so use it at your own risk.Here are some other caveats:- STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS are DISABLED when this argument is used because this option breaks the game balance, the achievements were not designed with this option in mind, and it would be unfair to allow players to earn achievements with this option enabled.- IMPASSE DETECTION is forced DISABLED when this argument is used even if you have it enabled in the game settings. This means that the game will not automatically detect when there are no sensible moves left, so you will have to figure it out yourself.

The average gold gain per lost game is probably somewhere around 500 gold, give or take, depending on the game.I will continue balancing the game based on player feedback if any annoying issues come up.
