I went into this with a negative attitude after reading the 1st nine reviews. I said, I will do the hour. Glad I did.

It is a timed solitaire game. You can go through the pile as many times as needed. No penalty. Cards are a good size.

You see one card up by the pile. But, after about 10 levels, you see two cards up by the pile, at a time. Then three cards up by the pile. Then I goofed, and my ...Show more

I went into this with a negative attitude after reading the 1st nine reviews. I said, I will do the hour. Glad I did.

It is a timed solitaire game. You can go through the pile as many times as needed. No penalty. Cards are a good size.

You see one card up by the pile. But, after about 10 levels, you see two cards up by the pile, at a time. Then three cards up by the pile. Then I goofed, and my card had no pair in the pile, and I had the option to end game, and that was my final score, or to restart that level (keeping my now score) and trying again. What I noticed was that I was back to one card up (OUCH)... After five levels I got my 2nd card, and then my 3rd.

You get the same points for removing pairs on the board or a pair from your hand, when you have two or three cards face up by the pile. Which is nice. The total game lets you play many times and get a better score. I am buying this for it is a thinking game. No monsters to destroy my cards, no items to buy. Also, you get accumulated shuffles if you do not use them. Then continue to the next level.

Cards are an appropriate size, even for me. I enjoyed this hour trial, and I am buying it. Which will make a lot of people mad.

THIS GAME IS NOT LIKE "STRIKE SOLITAIRE", where you have the option to replay each level until you get 300. Because, when you do that, which I did, there is not reason to replay the game, for I can never do better...

And BF knows that I do not say I like a game, if I do not. Show less

I recommend this game!

After reading the reviews I was pleasantly surprised by the game. Standard Mahjong-style matching. The cards with the alien fronts made me smile and I wanted to keep playing after the demo was done.

I recommend this game!

Based on the full hour trial.
Reading the reviews while the game downloaded, I did not have high hopes. I'm also not much of a Mahjong fan because I feel the genre is inherently boring. But I had an hour to kill and felt like something relaxing. This game delivered. As the game description mentions, it's a mahjong game with cards instead of tiles.
As soon as I started the game, I went to the options menu, lowered the sound, (as I usually do) to the point I could barely hear it. It was okay, no more grating or repetitive than any other game. I also flipped through the card choices until I found the one with the largest type-face. It was great. I didn't think the cards were too small at all.
With an abundance of powerups and wild cards, I was able to complete most of the games in "level mode" in two minutes or less, and didn't lose until level 1-24. The difficulty increased by reducing the number of face-up cards.
The hour pretty much flew by in a relaxing manner. With 500 maps, one would think they were getting their money's worth. Show less

I recommend this game!

First, I think that the name is misleading because it's not really a solitaire game. Mostly mahjong in cards (that I will agree with others on that issue).

I found this quite fun, especially considering other reviews, it was possible to change card front and backs, the 'power ups' were good and plentiful. I liked that it did not 'auto-match' with cards as this gave me a choice (when there was more than one possible match).

I wouldn't say that the game was actually solitaire as I know it, was just matching pairs, but still filled those empty minutes which is what it should do. Music was annoying though

All in all a good casual game - which is what Big Fish is about, I don't expect to find in depth detailed games on a casual gaming site. Show less

Well I didn't think this game was all that bad, yes it can get boring after a while but at least try the demo. This is really just mahjong they just use a deck of cards instead of tiles and you can match any suite diamond/club etc. You get to go through the entire deck at least twice and you can earn shuffle bonuses and reserve slots.

I recommend this game!

However, if you like Mahjong than give it a try.

The reservations that I have about the game are:
1. Poor Visual -- The cards are small and after 30 minutes, my eyes were tired. I will chalk this up to age and therefore, this might not be a problem for others :). The black background was also hard on the eyes.
2. Sound Quality -- After listening to it for a few minutes, I had to turn it off.
3. Lack of a storyline. However for a Solitaire or Mahjong game, who cares.
4. The game really is not challenging. Show less

I recommend this game!
