If you want to play something other than solitaire, like Gin Rummy, the set also includes two jokers designed exclusively for this deck by Susan Kare, creator of the game's original artwork.

When Windows 3.0 was introduced, it was the first time most people had ever used a mouse, and Solitaire was the program that eased us into the new paradigm (and kept us from getting bored at work). This deck recreates the virtual card game experience with the original artwork and cut out corners to simulate pixelation.

Although it’s printed with just a 16 color palette, this deck is rendered with the most realistic graphics of any video game, ever. This version of Solitaire extends the classic deck with two new jokers that match the original aesthetic, in case you want to play more games than just its namesake.

Question: Are these officially licensed?

Answer: These are officially licensed by Microsoft with the support of Susan Kare, the designer of the original Solitaire program. In fact, she designed two new jokers for a fully playable deck that extends your card playing beyond Solitaire.
