Manuel and Maria thought it would be a good idea to get married on the Day Of The Dead so that all their dead relatives could attend the wedding. Turns out, they were wrong!

What a fantastic solitaire game, it even has a fantastic story to go along with it. This is a Higher/Lower game of solitaire where you play cards either one number higher or one number lower than the deck card. You start out with 25 cards in the deck, and you receive 3 extra cards when you finish the first round, and another two cards when you finish the second round. At first the game is super easy, but don't worry, it gets more challenging as you progress, and you will have fewer cards by the end of the rounds. If you lose the final round due to lack of cards, you will have to restart from the beginning round.

There are Bomb Cards that can be clicked on to destroy other cards around them, and directional Rocket cards as well. Combos fill up the Gold Skull meter, each skull the meter fills to will give you 100 Golden Coins. Some of the cards require finding the key to unlock the padlock, some are on fire requiring you to play all water cards to put out the fire.

There are Bonus Cards to uncover, Extra Cards which allows you to receive 5 additional cards, Coin Cards gives you extra coins, an Undo Card gives you extra undo options, the Sword of Justice allows you to choose a card to be destroyed, the Joker is a Wild Card, and you can even unlock an extra Slot on the draw card with an increased chance of matches.

I loved the features, the graphics, and the Solitaire game, but most of all, it has a very interesting story, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed Fairway solitaire, so when I sampled this card game and found it was the same type with some cute changes, I was a buyer. Entertaining games that keep me playing for longer than a few days are rare, so this one's really a keeper.

I enjoyed Fairway solitaire, so when I sampled this card game and found it was the same type with some cute changes, I was a buyer. Entertaining games that keep me playing for longer than a few days are rare, so this one's really a keeper.

The hero is Manuel who's trying to win back Maria from the Dead. In order to find his love, he has to collect ingredients for an extremely complicated magic potion. Along the way he fulfills quests, all by playing solitaire - as you do.

The solitaire games are made challenging by different rules each time: Get 8 in a row with no diamonds, No mistakes, etc. There are magic cards like Shuffle the Deck and Wild Joker, which you can buy from money earned through straights and leftover cards.

The graphics are bright and bold. I really liked them, but that's a matter of taste. In any case, it's the cards that are important!

Did I mention long??? I'm on the 52nd chapter, and I haven't finished the potion yet! If you want a card game that gives you your money's worth, this is it. Show less

I recommend this game!

On the Day of the Dead souls can return to visit the living. Manuel and Maria get married on The Day Of The Dead so their relatives who have passed can attend their marriage. One evil soul stole Maria and Manuel is trying to find his bride and save her. The music and graphics are cutely spooky. It is a nice change from the dark Halloween games. The play is typical one card over or under, but you still have to think your strategy to earn bonuses. There are lots of goals to achieve, extra cards to earn, and levels to reach. The story progresses nicely as you play. Happy Halloween! Show less

EVERY thing you want in a solitaire game!

*One-use Power ups that you buy as needed with coins you earn playing. This way you aren't using several 'cheats' every round as you level up.
(Example, going back one turn)

*Cute graphics and unique artistry that isn't the usual (read: over done) 'modest' female heroine in every chat scene

EVERY thing you want in a solitaire game!

*One-use Power ups that you buy as needed with coins you earn playing. This way you aren't using several 'cheats' every round as you level up.
(Example, going back one turn)

*Cute graphics and unique artistry that isn't the usual (read: over done) 'modest' female heroine in every chat scene

*Music and Storyline that are simple and enjoyable, so that you're not mashing the mute or skip button after a couple hours.

*A large catalog of items you will need to collect throughout the levels. Not only do you watch your character move along the track but its also satisfying to peek at your collection progress, knowing there is much more to come.

*The bonus cards (such as bombs) and card blockers have fun release animations that keep you perked up.

It's a very fun and laid back game, but with more bells, whistles and flash animation than other card games I've purchased on Big Fish. This one holds my interest better when I'm looking to kick back and zone out, but not in the mood to focus on a puzzle/HO/match 3 game. Show less

I recommend this game!

I've written maybe 3 reviews since becoming a BF member (and it has been too long ago for me to even remember the year), but I had to write a review for this game to encourage BF to support more games like this (and the developer to make a second one!).

I've written maybe 3 reviews since becoming a BF member (and it has been too long ago for me to even remember the year), but I had to write a review for this game to encourage BF to support more games like this (and the developer to make a second one!).

This game has it all: great music (yes, it's a bit repetitive, but I didn't find myself tiring of it because it's well-done); a unique storyline that is well-told; great graphics; and fun, clever game play. The story is told in chapters, and you meet a new quest-giving character in each chapter. The powers that you get with each chapter are mostly the old stand-bys (remove a specific card, shuffle the cards showing, a Joker that allows you play any card on the board onto it, etc.), but there are some fresh ones as well.

This is one of those games that I don't want to finish, which I'm sure all you other BF gamers know is high praise. I wish there'd been a CE with additional game play at the end, but maybe they'll offer that in their next game! Show less

I recommend this game!

3 Rounds per level, with GOALS for EACH level, several board powerups - more can buy - with cute cards make this a fun, challenging different solitaire game. I'm finding GREEN SAUCE GAMES very appealing and hope they continue to provide the great games of theirs I've played.

I recommend this game!
