I absolutely love the beautiful hand drawn graphics of the Elven realms in this edition of The Far Kingdoms Solitaire game. This is a Higher/Lower type solitaire where you play either one card higher or one card lower than the foundation card regardless of suit. You can choose from three different card designs and four face card styles, there is also a Widescreen option, however, when I selected this option, it didn't change the fact that there are wide black fill in strips on both sides of the screen.

An Earthquake has destroyed the elven kingdom and the Elven Queen has asked for your help to restore the kingdom to it's former glory, playing magic solitaire of course. To rebuild the Kingdom, you will need Elven Crystals which are collected each time you play a game of solitaire. Combos of 5 or more will fill up the multiplier bar which will earn more crystals. As you progress, some of the cards are blocked with various obstacles such as chains and locks which will require finding a "key" card hidden under other cards. You will earn Wild Cards that are face value specific, in other words a number 2 card can only be used as a number two face value. Some cards you uncover have extra crystals, some will flip over a face down card, some will fill the undo feature as well.

Once you have collected enough crystals, you can purchase items to rebuild the kingdom, starting with the Druid Shield that will give you a deck of magic cards to begin your training. Each building you construct will give you some type of bonus such as the Sword of Glory which can be used to remove any single face up card on the board or The Wheel of Time which gives you an extra undo option. You must first get the blueprints and construct them in the form of a very easy jigsaw puzzle. Throughout the game you will collect 10 Magic Spark Relic Artifacts that will restore the Sacred Garden and the Sacred Tree within the grove.

This is a really good Solitaire game with a lot of good features. The graphics are hand drawn and very beautiful. My favorite solitaire game is still The Chronicles of Emerland but this game was an immediate purchase for this solitaire geek, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

Yes, I know we have seen the one up or one down type of solitaire games over and over but Far Kingdoms Sacred Grove is really quite beautiful and, IMHO, the perfect solitaire for hours of relaxing enjoyment along with a nice cup of tea. The graphics are lovely and full of elven fantasy. Not only are the graphics just what I look forward to in a game, the music is very relaxing so I don’t feel the need to turn it off. All in all this is a wonderful solitaire game.

You play the game as the elven queen who has arrived at the Sacred Grove only to find that it has been destroyed by a catastrophic earthquake. The druid kingdom was one a place of powerful magic but right now it seems that is no longer the case so what is there to do but roll up your sleeves and get busy restoring the once magical Sacred Grove. As we play through the levels we find or earn crystals that will help us restore the druid kingdom and bring back the magic. After you earn enough crystals you can purchase buildings or items that will help you in your quest to rebuild. Sometimes when you purchase a building it comes with extra surprises and power-ups that will be helpful as you play the levels. I love the extras that come my way such as a jigsaw puzzle to complete. The game is a surprise and certainly not your boring standard solitaire game. I love it!

Even though I probably have enough solitaire games to keep me happy for years into the future, Far Kingdoms Sacred Grove is one I must add to my collection. If you happen to love solitaire and beautiful graphics, please try the demo to see if this is a must have for you too. Show less

Not as many levels as Avalon 2 but much better graphics and story. Mini games and power up are more fun and useful .The hint button is a new feature.
I enjoyed the trial version very much and I'm sure I'll be adding to my collection with my next game credit.

I recommend this game!

I just finished the demo, and then I bought it. This is a fun solitaire game and it has features I haven't seen before. You get wild cards in each lay out but they are numbers as well as Kings and Aces, etc, If you have something like a 9, 10, jack showing, and you have an 8 on a wild card, you click it and it goes on your foundation card.

I just finished the demo, and then I bought it. This is a fun solitaire game and it has features I haven't seen before. You get wild cards in each lay out but they are numbers as well as Kings and Aces, etc, If you have something like a 9, 10, jack showing, and you have an 8 on a wild card, you click it and it goes on your foundation card. I really like this aspect. Periodically you get to work a puzzle, and also assemble an artifact, like a sword, they show parts of it and you play the field to collect the parts one by one. I like the graphics and the story line You gather crystals to use in rebuilding the elf city that was destroyed by an earthquake. I like games that you can build or create gardens, etc. Now and then a card shows up on the board that has chains across it, and you have to locate the key to open that card. It's hidden in the layout. As I said, this is a fun solitaire game, and now I'm going back to playing it. Show less

The backgrounds are beautiful. I just there was a way to make wallpapers for your desktops with them. After I played it the first time, I I played it again. This is the first game I've ever played twice in a roll.
