Painted PatienceHow to play
A famous painting is cut into cards and shuffled. Tap two cards to swap them, or drag one onto another. A card in the right place locks in and glows.
Some cards start face down. Like in patience, a hidden card flips over as soon as a neighbouring card is placed correctly. Restore the whole picture to hang it in your gallery.
