Based on demo. Rather simple so far but I enjoy these types of games and since it is not a CE the price was right.

I recommend this game!

I love these games because they are NOT like all the other solitaire games out there. These are definitely more challenging. You can't just willy-nilly pick the next card; you have to think strategically to make sure your working on the pile that has the gold card, not the piles with the filler cards. Those can be beneficial but they can also be sneaky distractions.

I love these games because they are NOT like all the other solitaire games out there. These are definitely more challenging. You can't just willy-nilly pick the next card; you have to think strategically to make sure your working on the pile that has the gold card, not the piles with the filler cards. Those can be beneficial but they can also be sneaky distractions.

You also need to build up your coins and purchase either the mulligans, shuffles or wild cards that will help you the most. And yes, sometimes I have to play a level multiple times, build up my coins, and buy my wild cards in order to beat that level and that is exactly what makes it so fun.

There is no shortage of the same old 'clear the whole board' solitaire games out there to choose from so this is a refreshing change on an old game.

My only criticism would be the music. It gets tiresome to listen to it for longer than a few minutes and so many games seem to be using the same. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is the well known up.down where you have to find the gold cards and when that is done the round is over. I enjoy these games as they are relaxing and not so difficult but there is nothing new to this one. You might like it.

I recommend this game!

the game's dark background was a bit challenging for me. Despite my love for casual video games, I found it difficult to immerse myself in the game for more than 10 minutes. However, I believe that others with different preferences may enjoy it

I like the solitaire games from this developer, but THIS one has some developer flaws. The card cover choices are not as easy to read as previous games and the BIG complaint I have is in the Professional mode - the completed games are STILL shown by a LOCK - meaning you can't tell if you played it to completion or happened to skip over it. NOT a good feature choice! If you want to play solitaire, ...Show more

The graphics are so dark the artwork is hard to see, card backs are unattractive. It is the same game as always and, frankly, it is just downright ugly.

The storyline is a farce, there is no mystery involved, it only exists as a word in the title. There was a game back in the Middle Ages called Tric Trac, played with 52 cards. I'll bet it was much better than these from 8 Floor and surely it ...Show more

I found this just like the others that this developer has put out and so me it was boring. The background was so dark you couldn't even see it. I only played for maybe 10 minutes and that was enough for me. Others may like it but it is a no for me.

I don't recommend this game.

On the first tutorial level, you will be able to remove all but one or two cards from the board. The developer wants you to believe that there is a possibility of removing all the cards from the board moving forward. Don't be fooled! It becomes absolutely impossible to remove all the cards because they purposely place the Special Gold Cards on top of piles of regular cards. Once you remove the last special card, the level ends with a "perfect score," leaving several cards remaining on the board, which is anything BUT a perfect score!

I get that some people enjoy playing a game that doesn't require them to remove all of the cards, but the majority of solitaire fans don't like this feature. Most solitaire fans will replay a level until they are able to remove every single card from the board.

If there are two different types of solitaire players, why wouldn't you add an option that would satisfy both types of players? I can't imagine that it would be that difficult to add an option that allows the player to continue the game after removing the special cards. I would be okay with this even if the score did not change at that point. In fact, nothing would have to change other than allowing us the choice to keep playing. The developer could get really creative if they so desired by having the player spend the earned coins for the opportunity to continue playing! I'd rather pay 5000 Coins to continue playing versus paying 5000 coins for a Joker or 8000 coins for a worthless Mulligan feature, wouldn't you?

This scenario seems like a no-brainer to me? Fans of this type of "Special Card" removal would still buy these games, assuming they are currently buying them now, because that scenario wouldn't change. But more importantly, solitaire fans who currently give this type of game a hard-pass NO, when it comes to purchasing, would be delighted with this option!

Adding a simple optional feature to these games would appeal to a much broader fan base. The largest majority of solitaire fans insist on removing all cards, (which is why all other developers steer clear of the special card removal scenario) Sales would double...at a bare minimum. Heck, I'd buy this game if it had the option to continue playing, in fact, I'd probably buy every new release!

There are 9 Card Graphic Themes to choose from and 3 Font sizes (traditional, themed, and large font) You are forced to start the game with a tutorial in the Newbie Mode which allows you to replay any level, After completing the tutorial, you can choose the Professional Mode which only allows you to play the entire 10-level pack.

When you remove cards with a round blue flower, you will receive either +499 points, a Joker, a Shuffle, or a Mulligan (undo), and you can purchase Jokers, Shuffles, and Mulligans within the Shop with the coins you have earned, at a ridiculous price point of 2500-8000-5000.

Does anyone else get an Error Access violation that terminates the game when you first click the play button? This happens to me with every game by this developer. After clicking the okay button on the "error" popup, you can click the "play" button, and it will work.
