I don't play solitaire very often. The few games I own are "gathering dust" in my purchase history. I tried Regency Solitaire on another site. The art style and the story drew me in, and I decided to buy it after playing the first chapter.

Bella's brother has a terrible gambling habit, so she may have to marry her neighbor, Mr. Bleakley. With the family fortune gone, she sets out to find love and restore her family's reputation.

There's an option to skip the story at the beginning of every chapter if it doesn't interest you. I'm currently playing Chapter 12 out of 20, and I don't want the game to end. It's got excellent replay value. You have the option to replay every hand to get a perfect score. This is a long game, and it's definitely worth a purchase.

When you quit the game, you can pick up where you left off, which means you don't have to replay the entire chapter. However, if you click on the wrong button, you'll have to start the chapter again. I also did this during a hand. There's a replay and a next button. I hit next by accident and skipped an entire level. This didn't set well, so I restarted the chapter. I didn't expect the game to allow me to skip hands or finish a chapter without completing all of the goals, but I'm playing on normal, so that may be why it happened.

This is a one up, one down solitaire game. You have goals for every chapter. Some examples are: Earn 4,400 gold coins, get 3 perfect hands, find a certain item, or get a 2.2 multiplier.

Features:

-Decorate the ballroom with coins you earn
-Choose which items to buy at the end of every chapter
-Every item you buy is a power up for your game (Cupid shoots a random card from the board, the lyre shuffles the cards, and the phoenix burns 2 random cards, etc.)
-180 levels
-Beautiful backgrounds and cards/Plain cards or default cards
-Gorgeous classical soundtrack
-Each chapter's background can be set as desktop wallpaper (I currently have the lavender field on mine.)
-You can use Bella's ballroom as desktop wallpaper at any time, even when it's not completely decorated
-Normal and hard difficulty modes
-Replay-able hands/chapters, although you MUST replay the hand immediately or you'll have to restart the chapter
-Soft palette, hand-drawn art (The game interface is pretty, right down to the pearl strands under the multiplier score at the top left of the game screen.)
-Widescreen option

If you like solitaire, you should definitely play the trial to see if you'll like it. I highly recommend this game! Show less

I just finished this lovely game and have nothing bad to say about it. It is a story where you are helping pretty Bella to have her first ball. Her brother has brought shame to the family because of his gambling problem, her father is not in favor of a ball and tells Bella she can marry their neighbor who is not a very nice man. However Bella receives an invitation from her aunt to attend a ball ...Show more

I just finished this lovely game and have nothing bad to say about it. It is a story where you are helping pretty Bella to have her first ball. Her brother has brought shame to the family because of his gambling problem, her father is not in favor of a ball and tells Bella she can marry their neighbor who is not a very nice man. However Bella receives an invitation from her aunt to attend a ball where she hopes to meet a fine gentleman and hopefully marry for love, not the need for money. You begin playing a one card up or down solitaire to gain money to help Bella buy clothes and to get their own home decorated. The graphics are good, very pretty and colorful. Every time you finish a chapter you may set the picture on your desktop. The time period is England 1812, so you can imagine how beautiful that time period is, like a Jane Auston novel, very romantic and gentle. The music is beautiful, like you would expect to hear at a ball. Challenge level is alright, there are chapter goals you need to get to receive 0 to 3 stars, making long combos, finishing all the cards on the board, etc. You can adjust music and sound levels and there is a normal or hard play level, I played normal cause I wanted this game to be a relaxing go to game, which it was. There are many beautiful places you will visit during the game, Brighton Beach, Roman Baths, Cotswold, St. Helens Church, Laverish Hall, and others. You can replay each scene to get a better score, but you cannot go back and play it later, so if you want to replay, do it before you go on to the next chapter. This game is good for all age groups and is very replayable. I love the games Grey Alien makes, this one joins another favorite from them, Spooky Bonus, a bright, colorful match 3 game. I definitely recommend this beautiful, relaxing game! Show less

I recommend this game!

Truly, the LAST game I needed was, so I thought, uyet another solitaire game in my ever expanding, vast collection of BF casual games.... I have purchased SO many variations of the theme that I almost didn't even DEMO it.... SO glad I did because, alas, it is a Solitaire game created by none other than one of the most earthly connected developers who knows how to design addictive, down to earth, wholesome, FUN and just, well... exceptional games in our galaxy, Grey Alien!

Ok, forgive me for the corny verbiage, yet I am a bit overboard with delight with this newest addition and highly recommend you give the DEMO a try.

I just purchased it and know I will get much mileage from it, just as I have from all of Grey Alien's other wonderful developments.

That said, I can't wait to see what this developer has next up his sleeve [do aliens have sleeves?]

Seriously, thank you SO much developers and BF for this great addition to fun and creative gaming; this one for the quieter times.

Happy gaming!

btw any errors are due to a script error which will not allow me to view what I am typing... sorry in advance if any occurred. Show less

Although there are several brilliant reviews of this game already, I thought I would add my two-cents...about what it's worth?!

I absolutely love this game. I purchased the game as soon as the demo ended and continued to play it throughout the night and into the wee hours of the morning. I just had to know what was going to happen to poor Bella, a young girl who was doomed to marry the sneaky, shady, all-around creep of a next door neighbor, Mr. Bleakely. I don't want to give all of the story away, but Bella had her eyes on a rich young Earl and was pining away for him, thinking that they could never be together. (Oh, I could just weep thinking of that poor little soul, Bella, trapped in a loveless marriage with the evil, and yes, unattractive, Bleakely.) Finish the game and you will bring sweet Bella's story to a beautiful, and, of course, storybook ending. (Well, maybe it's a Grimm storybook ending?)

Let me say that the topper for me is that this game was designed by a husband and wife team who do this as their family business. Their other games include "Spooky Bonus", "Holiday Bonus" and another game, but I am sorry, I forgot the title.

This little game is worth every penny. I am sure that I will replay it several times just for the fact that the character designs, the scenery, the music....just everything, are so lovely, enchanting, and highly important to me---relaxing. Show less

I recommend this game!

The music is soothing and pleasant to listen to, and the story (yes, there is a story) is reminiscent of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer.

I highly recommend this game; I am really enjoying it. Five stars for a great solitaire game. :-) Show less

I LOVE solitaire and haven't found a decent game in FOREVER and a DAY!!!!!!!

I had the opportunity to play this game when it was released on a different gaming site and couldn't WAIT until it came out on BFG so I could finally purchase it.

Poor Bella dreams of marrying a handsome, wealthy man. Does she have someone in mind??? But, her brother, gambles away the family fortune! OH NO!!!!! (Is this a guy thing? Lack of common sense??? RFLMAO Sorry guys!!!) NOW, her father is pushing her to marry the dastardly neighbor ..... creepy, yucky, eeeewwwww!!!!!!

The graphics are only ..... (singing) AMAZING!!!!!! Pure and spot on perfect for the era as you move through each of the rooms in Bella's house. The cards are a great size, pictures are easy to see (even for these old eyes), just PERFECTION! Music ...... OMG! Again, perfect for the era .... softly classical but not "I'm getting sleepy" kind of music. Just ..... enchanting.

It's hi/low solitaire but NEVER boring as the storyline continues throughout the game. No voiceovers, but it seems just perfectly right to have to read everything everyone says. There are 2 difficulties - normal and hard. Sorry, I play Normal but WHEN I purchase the game I will play all 180 levels on Normal and then go back and replay them on Hard. wooo-hooo!

There is so much going on in this game that makes it truly entertaining. With the coins you earn during game play, you get to purchase items for Bella (a hand fan, gloves, etc.) or for her home - such FUN! Every item you buy is some kind of power up/bonus for you to use in your game play (for example, Cupid may shoot a random card from the game board, the phoenix burns cards, the lyre will shuffle them and MORE) - WOW! AND, you are offered the opportunity to use the pictures/room/backdrop as a screensaver only every time you make a change!

I CANNOT say enough about this amazingly entertaining and beautiful solitaire game. The actual solitaire game is ALMOST the backdrop of the game as opposed to being the center of attention - lol.

I recommend this game for everyone from beginners to experts ... a great tutorial at the beginning is perfect for newbies. It's fun, it's romantic, it's dazzling and it's ....... PERFECT!

Come meet me in this amazing Pride and Prejudice meets Solitaire game and help Bella make her dream come true!

ENJOY! Show less

I'm midway through playing Regency Solitaire in regular mode, and I must say I'm loving it! It's a one-up one-down type of solitaire with multiple power-ups, but what sets it apart from other solitaire games are the sheer beauty of it and the smooth play. This game has a story that takes place in the Regency era of England, between 1811 and 1820. We in the U.S. weren't too fond of England during much of this time, but many of us today enjoy stories and characters who came out of this period, such as the Jane Austin books. Women were inferior to men in most men's way of thinking, and they had little power over even their own lives. Women of the "upper class" needed to marry well, which involved either having a dowry or being very lucky. This story is of a woman who hasn't a dowry and who might have to marry a rather odious neighbor. We help her by making goals through playing our hands at solitaire. The graphics are gorgeous, and the lovely, relaxing music fits right in. Gameplay is well thought out and without the glitches many other solitaire games have until their developers fix them. One can play in either "normal" mode or "hard." I love games that do this because I'm able to play them through twice. It's like getting two games for the price of one. I highly recommend this game!

I absolutely love the graphics in this one - the backgrounds resemble fine paintings one would find in a gallery and the characters have great personality. The story-line is very predictable and some of the dialogue is rather trite...but the game play? Outstanding. I can play most solitaire games in my sleep and this one actually made me think a little. There's some strategy involved in deciding which wild cards to play, especially near the end of the game when the goals are more challenging. 3.5 multiplier and 25-card combo, indeed! LOVE this game!
