Where did gorillas come from? What are gorillas? Where are gorillas going? Find out in Goritaire, a unique single-player card game from ARC SYSTEM WORKS. Your goal is to fill the jungle by aligning seven or more gorillas on the ground. However, you must manage your resources carefully; every gorilla needs food, and if even one is left without bananas, your troop will collapse. It's a strategic, minimalist card experience unlike any other.

Our Expert Score
Goritaire is a weird, wonderful, and slightly stressful card game. Arc System Works has a knack for taking simple concepts and giving them a bizarre, high-concept twist (much like they did with Shephy). The gameplay loop is tight: you want more gorillas, but more gorillas mean more mouths to feed.
The art style is delightfully weird, and the existential questions about where gorillas come from set a tone that is equal parts funny and unsettling. It’s a very difficult game to master, which makes the eventual victory of getting seven gorillas to the ground feel like a massive achievement. If you like 'weird' indie card games, this is an absolute gem.
Features
Quirky and unique gorilla-themed solitaire
Strategic card management and resource tracking
Minimalist art style with a dry sense of humor
Fast-paced rounds perfect for quick mobile play
Tips & Walkthrough
Never expand your troop unless you have a surplus of banana cards. The game ends instantly if a gorilla is played without a corresponding food supply.
Gameplays
Winning requires seven gorillas on the 'ground' row. Use special cards to move gorillas between rows or protect them from negative events.

Q&A
No, it's a completely original card game mechanic based on troop management and survival.

Gorilla Gorilla!!
Wed Mar 25 2026 jay bunnellI have the free version of the game. It’s a cool deck-builder and well-designed, with a very fun and retro UI. The card designs are wonderful and I found myself showing my favorites to people. The UI elements are a little slow to move; the selector for actions was a little bit unintuitive but I figured it out pretty quickly. I find the full game to be a little bit pricey; I think $2.00US would be more reasonable. If you’ve played wingspan, this has some similar aspects. I really enjoy it and would love to see a physical version for sale.
Good but limited

How Odd
