Absolute Patience Demo

Solitaire is by far one of the most popular card games out there, especially since it has so many different variations out there. Hence, you can play a different version every day and not have the same experience for over a year, given the high number of different takes on the game, invented in various corners of the world.

Absolute Patience is actually a collection of Solitaire variations, ranging from the usual Spider and Freecell, all the way to slightly more obscure representations, such as Klondike and Fan. Not only that, but each one of these has a few dozen versions as well, which means that you are left with over five hundred different Solitaire games you can try, so you’ll be all set for a while.

The main menu greets you with a broad selection of games, all of which are grouped into categories and somewhat explained in short. However, the most important feature is the fact that you can adjust the games in multiple ways, which spawns even more variety. Thus, you are free to create your own rules and have fun with your favorite version of Solitaire.

All you need to do in order to play the games is use the mouse in order to drag and drop the cards around. You obviously need to know the rules of the game first, but if you are well aware of them, the user interface should come naturally. In fact, it doesn’t even matter if you have any previous experience with computers or not, because everyone can easily pick up the mechanics in a few minutes.

Visually, the game certainly does not impress and there are no 3D models to talk about, but the graphic style is more than pleasant and there shouldn’t be too many complaints in this regard. The sound is a bit off, on the other hand, especially when it comes to the effects that play when you perform certain actions. As a whole, you can go through the game without noticing them, however.

All things considered, Absolute Patience is certainly a nice game, even if it’s intended for a very casual crowd. Hence, if you want the ultimate collection of Solitaire variations and a simple interface to go along with it, look no further than this.
