Donald Rumsfeld Tries Game Development With Churchill Solitaire

The game is a variation on solitaire, which, according to Rumsfeld, was created by former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.

Former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld has entered the world of mobile game development with the release of Churchill Solitaire on iOS. The game is a variation on the traditional game of solitaire, which, according to Rumsfeld, was created by former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.

In a blog post, Rumsfeld said Churchill taught the game to his protégé André de Staercke, who, in turn, taught the game to Rumsfeld in the 1970s. Javelin, a digital and communications agency, oversaw the game’s creation.
