Our Story & Origins
We are a team of two software engineers and game designers based in the USA with a lifelong passion for tabletop games, mathematical puzzles, and high-performance software. Before creating Unicorn Games, we built and established CardGames.us—a digital sanctuary dedicated strictly to classic card games like Solitaire, Hearts, Spades, FreeCell, and Gin Rummy. In the mobile world, we have also developed recognized titles on the Apple App Store, including the social party game Rizz Up Party Game and the logic puzzle quiz Pic 2 Word AI.
While CardGames.us will always remain our focused home for traditional card and board games, we realized that modern web gamers deserved a richer, more expansive universe: an all-in-one web games platform that goes far beyond card tables to bring daily logic puzzles, Sudoku, chess challenges, naval strategy, and casual arcade entertainment under one roof.
That ambition gave birth to Unicorn Games (unicorn.games). We engineered the platform with a strict "jump-in-and-play" ethos: every title loads in under a second, runs natively in any browser with zero installations, respects your privacy with no mandatory accounts, and ensures 100% fair play powered by cryptographically secure random number generators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers regarding our origins, fair-play algorithms, privacy standards, and advertising policies.
Q: What is the relationship between Unicorn Games and CardGames.us?
Both platforms are developed and published by the same two-person engineering team based in the USA. While CardGames.us remains dedicated strictly to classic card & board games (Solitaire, Hearts, Spades, Gin Rummy), Unicorn Games is our expanded web gaming platform featuring daily puzzles, brain games, strategy titles, and arcade classics alongside our signature card games.
Q: Do the computer opponents or game engines cheat?
Absolutely not. Transparency and fairness are fundamental to the gaming experience across both CardGames.us and Unicorn Games. Every deal, deck shuffle, and board layout is generated using cryptographically secure random number generators (CSPRNG). Our AI bots operate strictly under the exact same information visibility as human players—they have zero peek access into the deck or hidden cards.
Q: Are all games on Unicorn Games 100% free?
Yes, completely free. There are no paywalls, no 'pay-to-win' subscriptions, and no downloadable software required. Everything runs natively and directly in your browser with zero cost.
Q: Do I need an account or sign-up to play?
No account is required. We value your time and privacy. You can jump directly into any game immediately. While the platform utilizes standard local browser storage to save your win streaks, personal best times, and game settings, this data resides entirely on your device and is never tied to a personal profile on our servers.
Q: What is your design philosophy regarding rule variations?
Our core philosophy centers on simplicity, accessibility, and high performance. By adhering to the most widely accepted standard tournament rulesets and tactile touch controls, we ensure players can jump in immediately without having to configure confusing menus.
Q: Is Unicorn Games mobile and tablet friendly?
Yes, responsive mobile design has been our priority from day one. Unicorn Games is built with lightweight HTML5 canvases and adaptive layouts that automatically adjust to mobile phones, iPads, tablets, and desktop displays.
Q: Can I play games offline or on school/work networks?
Unicorn Games requires an initial connection to load game engine assets. Once cached in your browser, the game logic and puzzle solvers run entirely locally on your device with minimal data transfer. The site is optimized to load safely on school and workplace networks.
Q: Why do you display advertisements on Unicorn Games?
As an independent two-person development team providing premium web games completely free of charge, high-quality advertisements are our primary means of covering ongoing operational expenses—including cloud hosting, bandwidth, domain security, and ongoing development. We strictly place ads respectfully so they never disrupt your active gameplay.
