A new better late than never version is on the 2018 beta branch. You will need to switch to this "2018_beta" branch to play this update. Once enough people confirm that it works as intended I will graduate it to live.
If you play this please give feedback on if you notice it being better. Maybe create a new profile to test with if you feel up to it.
The changes specifically:
* The chance for all eggs to drop is much higher now. Shouldn't be too high to make the egg hunt unfun, but let me know if it's too high or not.
* After you purchase the Tree of Life powerup the drop rates for eggs go even higher to prevent the need for endless grind. So if you already have Tree of Life powerup unlocked you can enjoy the even higher rates. There is no tool tip for the powerup for this effect but it is in game.
* Egg shop removed. It's more fun to get eggs in game than buy them.
If you previously played but never got the last egg achievements and lost your save (or played the older beta with egg shop and got a glitch) you can download this save to use to complete the last two achivements: https://www.subsoap.com/temp/FaerieSolitaireClassicSavegame.zip
Put the files in the folder in the zip in your C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Faerie Solitaire
This update is unfortunately still only for Windows for technical reasons. It would be possible to make new Mac/Linux builds but I will need to rewrite some of the dependencies this version of the game uses which have only Windows versions. Maybe in 2019.
For anyone who got all of the eggs in the original version, just know you beat RNGesus.
This is still not the final update to this classic version but I'm still pressed for time so I'll have to budget more time in 2019 to make some more changes and quality of life updates before the final update for this game is released.
I still also encourage people to play the Remastered version once we get the engine rework released for it. Should be Soon(TM). :colorlessfaerie:

Faerie Solitaire Dire
We've been working on a new game called Faerie Solitaire Dire which is focused on the new mechanics found in the Challenge mode of Faerie Solitaire Remastered. The goal of Dire is to make a solitaire game which is not easy... instead Dire is very challenging and has a darker yet still magical theme!
If you buy the current version of Faerie Solitaire Dire from us you will get access to DRM free installers as well as get a Steam key once Dire is released on Steam. We'll be releasing at least a few more big direct updates for Dire before publishing on Steam.

This year will be full of new game releases from us. If you want to get direct updates join our free newsletter:
Note that if you're a FS owner you don't need to buy FSR again. We're waiting on Steam to setup the packages properly so that all FS owners get FSR. This should happen Soon™
Steam achievements are coming as well as cloud saves. We'll add trading cards too as soon as FSR reaches Valve's new minimum purchases. Mac and Linux builds are coming soon as well.

Faerie Solitaire trading cards are now available on Steam!

First repaint of the cards is done (I've been wanting to do this for over a year+): http://i.imgur.com/KpO3I.png
Note: The sizes of the art on the top are the full sizes, but they will be scaled down a bit to the bottom sizes so that they fit better on the cards. This art is not final. If you see anything which bugs you please let me know so I can fix it. I see a bunch of stuff which I want to improve on, but overall I'm pleased with the improvements.
New full size is 750x1070 vs the old full size of 75x107. These cards are 75x107. The new full sized cards will make it possible to display the cards in game at larger sizes without losing detail. Also, I made sure to paint them at a large enough size to allow me to get some real decks of cards printed! :D As soon as I get the cards perfect I'll make it possible to buy real decks of FS cards for a limited of time.
