 Love It! Jan 07, 2008
By Donna
This game is well worth the $$. With over 105 games (who knew there were that many?) you will never get bored. I was addicted to Spider Solitaire on the PC and now I can play that on the go. So many variations of games! When you click on a game it will show you the layout and the skill level and your chances of winning.
Forget brain games, this works at keeping your mind strong. I highly recommend this one!

 (1/2 star) hoping for better...... Mar 24, 2008
By mb

I tried this solitaire collection while waiting to get a copy of "Clubhouse Games." I'm 61; female; never played video games in my life & never have been at all interested. My grown sons guffawed at my Nintendo DS purchase. In my defense, I bought it for Brain Age 1&2.... And then thought it would be perfect for long trans-con flights - - if I could find some "adult" kinds of games that didn't involve blowing up cars or hopping across rivers & avoiding alligators.
I was sure that SO would be the answer. It would have a gazillion different solitaire games! Hot doggies! This would be the entire family of the famous game we all play while on telephone hold, right?
Well, sort of.
This software is just ok.
SO suffers most from lack of instructions, which I feel are important, especially since solitaire games are very similar to each other. I finally got out my Hoyle book and another card game book for instructions on how to play these games! (There are no instructions in the dox. Altho there are some onboard for each game, they're pretty obscure. As I said, I got out my Hoyle to help me understand the onboard directions! Really, now, one shouldn't have to consult another source to play the game. Really lacking on the consumer support!)
I'd like to be able to search by game type, but this does not appear to be possible, despite the "search" feature.
"Slider" down R side of screen is so sensitive as to be almost uncontrollable. (If you hate shopping carts that won't steer, you'll hate this failure, too!)
Positives: User may change wallpapers, choose music (including a shuffle option), and change card reverse pic. Resolution is sharp in the wallpapers. The cards themselves are a little hard to read, but it's a very small image!
Still and all, there are a lot of negatives, so I decided to keep looking.
Stop here if you don't want to read about the game I found and love!

As long as I was hunting again, I decided I wanted something that had more game variety than just solitaire card games (which is why CG had looked so attractive).
If I had known about "TouchMaster," I wouldn't have bothered with SO at all!
TM has plenty of games for the solo player, including several card solitaires. In addition to very good, concise on-screen instructions, there are instructions for each game in the liner notes in the case (yea!) that are well-written and lucid.
Has a wheel-of-fortune type (this has only 6 categories, alas, so repetition happens pretty quickly), word search, etc. Several card games will help you brush up your 11, 13, and 21 addition facts. Some games are strictly chance; others involve varying amounts of skill and strategy. You can read elsewhere in detail about the content.
All games are stylus-activated. A big plus.
I must have spent 6 hours with this software tonight. (Yes, I should have been grinding on my lengthy to-do list, but I just couldn't resist. I'll probably play some more after I finish this review!)

Forget SO. Use your $ for TM. You won't be sorry you passed on SO. Compared to TM, SO is a non-starter. (I can't get the "star" rating to change to a star. What I'd really like is 1/2 a star!) mb

Solitaire review Dec 30, 2007
By L. Nunn
This product was given as a gift to my wife. She played the game on our way to see family on Christmas day. She had fun figuring out how to play and she like the challenge. I am well pleased with the game.

Game is just okay Jan 21, 2009
By Anne Circle
I love card games and feel I'm pretty good at them. However, I agree with other reviews that the instructions are very vague. The game should also let you know when there are no more moves left and say "game over". That would be VERY helpful. I get tired of looking at the cards wondering if there are any moves left! Most likely would not buy if I had the choice to do it over again.

Great casual game! Dec 14, 2008
By N. Givens
If you like solitaire you will love this game. It doesn't have every solitaire in existence but 101 is plenty. Some games are quite easy and some are maddeningly hard.
Pros:
Many variety of solitaire games
Games are in categories
Touch screen makes solitaire much easier and faster
Undo and forward options
Preferences include: Music, sound effects, different card backings, various wallpapers
Magnifying glass when a column gets too full
Cons:
Multiplayer is pointless as you can't play the same exact game with someone else. It just gives another person the ability to play solitaire without an extra cart but your cards will always be different.
Can only save last game played. No multiple or permanent game save option
All the cards are on one screen so gets a little hard to see them on larger 2 deck games
Overall the pros out way the cons and this is a must have for anyone who likes solitaire or wants to relax before going to sleep.
