I really enjoyed the music and the dialog. I really like the hidden objects and Mahjong and Solitaire. To me it was relaxing and fun and Challenging. I did not make all through the trial before I bought. I am not sorry I did. My 12 year old even enjoys playing it. it is great for the whole family.
I recommend this game!

Good high/low game with breaks in the play to put together puzzles, etc. You are given (in most levels) a large number of cards to remove all the cards on the table. However, sometimes you can get three stars but not get everything in the other categories. You can, however, replay every level. There are ten levels with ten steps.

We've seen these games before but this particular edition has some nice graphics, good side puzzles and a bit of a story line- don't look for anything too deep. Nothing bad to say, it is what it is. I enjoyed it...when I was really was too tired to think it helped me unwind. Great music, too!
I recommend this game!

I own several Solitaire games by this developer and they are very good Solitaire games, but they all have one common denominator...they have identical board layouts! The only difference is that the title changed as well as the storyline theme and graphics, still has the same features and achievements too!

I own several Solitaire games by this developer and they are very good Solitaire games, but they all have one common denominator...they have identical board layouts! The only difference is that the title changed as well as the storyline theme and graphics, still has the same features and achievements too! To make matters worse, it still his this intermittent issue where several deck cards flip over at the same time.

With that being said, IF you haven't purchased a game by this developer I totally recommend it because even though it's the same game, it's a really enjoyable game, I just don't need four of the same game!
You can set the resolution so the game fills the whole screen (instead of the black bars on each side) and there are 3 Cursors and 3 Card Fonts to choose from, including a large card font. There are 18 Achievements to earn, most of which are available in 3 different categories.
You can purchase Jokers and Number Specific Wildcards in the shop with the golddollars you earn, and as you progress, helper cards become available that refill as you play a specific suit, such as Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, and Spades. After completing chapters and collecting the level resources, you'll be awarded artifacts.
One of the biggest reasons I love Solitaire games by this developer is the fact that the piles of deck cards are so numerous, and there are so many cards to remove from the board. Not only is it more challenging this way, but it gives you the opportunity to strategically make long combos, and by long, I mean that if done correctly, you can make combos of 20, 30 even 40 (yes it's possible on some levels, especially as you progress further)
I'm the kind of person who plays a solitaire level over and over until I remove every single card, even if I've earned all 3 Stars, I'll still replay the level until every single card has been removed. Once again, I had issues on some of the levels when I clicked on the deck pile where more than 1 card would flip over. It wasn't even noticeable unless one of the cards was playable, because the playable card on the board would wiggle to indicate I missed a play. Sure enough, I'd click the Undo button and the card below was indeed playable. This wouldn't be a problem if the Undo was free and limitless, but the Undo has to charge by removing cards, and it's not always available when you first start the level.
Here are a few of the features I love about this game:
*The piles of cards to remove from the board are numerous.
*Those piles sometimes give the appearance of a single card.
*There are no "Special" cards to remove.
*You can remove all cards because there are no special cards.
*You can replay the levels as often as you want.
*Clicking anywhere speeds up the process to the next level.
*Large Combos are possible if you use strategy and/or Wildcards.
*Mini-Games and HO's break up the monotony of Solitaire levels.
*The card Fonts are easily identifiable and easy to see.
*The graphics are colorful.
It's a relaxing game, it's a fun game to play, but it's not right to pretend to release a brand new game when in reality they didn't bother to change anything...or fix the multi-card flip glitch!

Once again we have a perfectly nice solitaire game but if you own others by this developer you basically have this one.
I did particularly like the choice of the decks in this one. There are 3 choices and the plain one against the desert background makes it really pleasant to play for me.
There are achievements but they are more like milestones you must meet to build the 'side' buildings ...Show more

I did particularly like the choice of the decks in this one. There are 3 choices and the plain one against the desert background makes it really pleasant to play for me.
There are achievements but they are more like milestones you must meet to build the 'side' buildings every ten levels or so. There are minigames if you read the dialogue, and it is a basic one up one down style and eventually you earn bonuses that shuffle or take down a card etc..
The game is smooth, the cards are pleasant, and the game is also fairly lengthy. I just already own a Roman one, and a jungle one and I do bring them out every once in a while..
They are exactly the same game with a different set of clothes on. Try the demo..there's nothing wrong with it..there's nothing very exciting about it, and there's nothing very annoying about it. A straightforward game of cards.

It's a good game - very colorful, nice story. It's not as glamorous as other solitaire games on BF, but it is entertaining and somewhat addictive. There are in-game power-ups, and a shop where you can buy wild cards and jokers. It's a classic one-up, one-down type, interspersed with hidden object scenes. It moves rather slowly - takes a bit of getting used to.
I recommend this game!

I was really excited to try this game since I just finished another by the same developer. My problem is that the colors and the layout is just horrible. I don't even need glasses but after playing the trial, my eyes hurt. Sorry but due to this I can't buy this game.
I don't recommend this game.
