They've recently released a new version for it, with subtle enhancements that are explained in detail in the readme:
https://github.com/furious-programming/Fairtris-2-UC
(The first version of the game has been taken down for some reason, but a fork can still be found here, with patches that make building a Linux native binary more convenient: https://github.com/chronoscz/Fairtris)
To build it you need to install the FreePascal IDE called 'Lazarus' -- it's on the official repos of pretty much every mainstream distro: https://repology.org/project/lazarus/versions
A very minor patch needs to be applied to make the Linux build work properly -- & it's possible to apply the same change via the Lazarus GUI (the cog/wrench icon next to the play button; 'Config and Target' heading; 'Target OS' tab):

AFAICT the only runtime requirement is SDL2; the FreePascal bindings are all included in the game repo.
Unfortunately the 2nd version of the game launches only on X11. The first launches fine on XWayland too.

Your first Linux port?
I only made a quick test with Weston, but it seems to run fine here, both in Xwayland and natively in Weston.

See, it's *that* simple -- if only detractors like Tim Sweeney understood that.
So it might be a Plasma 6 / Wayland problem.
-- EDIT: It runs fine on Sway, but not labwc; both wlroots compositors w/ the default Fedora configurations. Weird.
