Solitaire Club

There are not many ways to innovate the game of Solitaire, especially not after hundreds of versions have been released over the years, but that doesn’t mean you cannot lure players with the promise of a good time. Hence, as long as the gameplay is decent and the challenge is worth the trouble, casual players are more than happy to play even more Solitaire.

Solitaire Club is a puzzle game in which your task is to finish each level as quickly as possible, using the classic Solitaire rules in order to solve the challenges. While it’s not an actual Solitaire game per se, the mechanics are quite similar, and it should be fun to experience something else for a change. On top of that, there’s enough content to keep you busy for a long time.

In short, the goal is to clear all the cards from the table by placing them on top of the one you draw from the deck. Whenever none of the cards on the table works with what you have, you can draw another one and try again. However, there’s a limited number of cards in the deck, so you can only do this a couple of times before the round is lost and you have to reset.

What makes the experience enjoyable is the fact that the backgrounds, layouts and decks change on a regular basis, at least if you are doing well enough to pass the levels. You can also unlock more of them once you get enough points. There are special abilities like wildcards and undo buttons which come in handy whenever you get stuck.

As far as the user interface and the graphics are concerned, the game is obviously not going to leave you gasping for air, but the visuals are just right for the genre. The various card decks and backgrounds are nicely designed, and they certainly keep boredom at bay. There’s a bit of music to keep you engaged as well, although it can get repetitive after a while.

In the end, Solitaire Club is certainly not a revolutionary game, but it can be just the thing you are looking for. On the other hand, the puzzles can get repetitive if you play them long enough.
