Match ranks across eight piles dealt from a stripped-down 32-card deck, no building, no stock, for a 25% shot at your wish.

According to the help page for "Solitaire Till Dawn," you're supposed to make a wish when you win a game of The Wish. Whether tradition actually delivers on that wish is anyone's guess. The game is played with a single short deck (32 cards), with a 25% chance of winning, and your odds of victory are mainly determined by luck.
