Oh, it's an effective solitaire.  If you engage your imagination, you
get the sense of sneaking past critters too powerful to face, or of
getting caught trying.  Thing is, I have to arrange less juggling of
numbers, so the player can stay in that mental space, and keep that trip
going.

Tell you what, you go on and play it, and give me feedback.  It's worth
a credit on the 1.0 release if you do.  :)
