Far Kingdoms have always been among my favorite Solitaire games, they have all the features I like, beautiful music, and a somewhat decent story as you progress.

Far Kingdoms have always been among my favorite Solitaire games, they have all the features I like, beautiful music, and a somewhat decent story as you progress.

This is a Higher/Lower type Solitaire game that allows you to replay any level. I like the fact that I get to remove all cards from the board, not just those annoying "special" cards. You can earn up to 3 Stars, and there are 10 Trophies to earn. Combos start at 5 cards, and there is a Card Counter icon, and an Undo icon, that starts each level with 1, additional's can be purchased in the shop (located on the bottom right)

In the Shop you can purchase items to help you beat a level, and the good news is that they are cheap to buy, however, you can only use them at that exact moment, they can't be saved.

As you progress, there are obstacles that require special tool cards such as a Sword to cut Vined cards, a Hammer to crush Stone cards, Locked cards that require making a Combo of a specific amount, and Chained cards that require two plays to remove them. (once to remove chains, a second time to remove the card itself)

I don't really need another solitaire game but if it is Far Kingdoms, I'll take it. Far Kingdoms always delivers attractive backgrounds and card backs, and pleasant music. These few items add to the pleasantry of the game, for me.

There is a scant story as the game continues and minimal features are offered. But I don't need building or lots of gimmicks and extras. Enhancements are nice but with solitaire, I just like to play without keeping track of anything.

High/Low is my favorite solitaire. This one lets you replay any level and, thankfully, remove all the cards from board without those special cards that end the game prematurely. Replaying the levels lets me work for that perfect hand each time and collecting trophies is always fun.

Extra little challenges are in the form of locked cards that require a special tool or having to remove a required number of cards in order to progress. Not much of a threat, but fun nonetheless.

The only negative I can see, is The Shop. The helpers, although inexpensive, have to be used immediately after purchase. I think most of us like to save them for those upcoming emergencies. Just a minor issue that happens to displease me a little.

I enjoyed the demo and look forward to adding Far Kingdoms to my ever-growing solitaire collection with today's sale.

I was waiting for someone to write a detailed review since that's not my specialty. I like this series and will be purchasing this game. There is one thing Pennmom36 said that I want to mention in particular since I think it's a bit different from other solitaire games. She said "In the Shop you can purchase items to help you beat a level, and the good news is that they are cheap to buy, however, you can only use them at that exact moment, they can't be saved." This surprised me, but I love the feature. In most solitaire games you have to accumulate hundreds or thousands of points to buy a feature that will help you win a level and you keep that feature or power up for the entire game. The items in this game are around 10-15 (Joker is 7) coins or dollars or points. You buy what you need, when you need it, and use it immediately - no saving feature. I think this is a terrific feature and one of the main reasons I want to get this game. Having to play lots of hands to buy one feature sometimes gets tiresome and frustrating to me, so this feature seems to move the game along smoothly and more quickly. I love playing this kind of game after I get home from work and I just need to cool my jets doing something fun. Show less

I recommend this game!

I loved this solitaire game...I was able to relax and chill out !!! This one had a great little story with it too !!!

As with all solitaire games there is a few challenging spots but if you simply cannot achieve the win you could always go to the store and see what they have to help you with your goal !!!

A nice great game to veggitate with !!!

Have fun all !!!

I like the Far Kingdoms games and love solitaire - thumbs down on this one. Too much gab and some levels have to be played over and over because of locked cards where you have to get a sequence of cards - number on the locked card - and of course by the time you progress in the level you're down to few cards so can't make a sequence and buying extra cards doesn't help.

The awaking games are different and interesting but not boring. OH! The keys are missing from the gate. I don't need at least three different games to get the keys. Also the solitaire game is way too easy. I love this series and am very disappointed in this game.

I don't recommend this game.

I was really looking forward to a new game from this series. I have enjoyed playing the previous games, and have in fact played them more than once. So imagine my disappointment in this game, the graphics were so basic, bubble cursor and I felt like the game had reversed directions in the graphics. I agree with other people the game was way to easy and not hard at all.
What a disaster of a game.

I don't recommend this game.

One would think a new solitaire game from the makers of the far Kingdoms Awakening adventure series would be fantastic, amazing and over-the-top. However, one would be wrong.

I was actually shocked to see this is simply a bare bones solitaire game with absolutely no bells or whistles. What's more unbelievable is that we're expected to pay for the game.

The description mentions 'unique' challenges and somewhat of a story line, but I found neither. Please try this one before you actually buy it. It gets two thumbs down from me. Show less
