Astraware Solitaire - 12 Games

I've been playing this game for years, started on my first Palm, and it just gets better and better. The new upgrade makes it more fun and personal. You can customize your cards, the background, and even adjust the rules. I didn't realize how useful that would be until my grandchild started to play. Tweaking the rules to increase the likelihood of winning makes it more approachable for him. It allows him to win enough to want more. The more he plays, the more he learns how to see potential moves and probabilities as he plays. All in all, a well- planned and beautifully designed game. Just what you'd expect from Astraware! Thanks. Addendum-LOVE the new update for iPhone 6!!! Now 11! Update-still playing on iPhone 11!

I have been using this app almost daily for over 10 years. I find it relaxing and stimulating. Thus I play it while ready to go to bed or when ready to wake up. I have played thousands of times (I’m retired😊) and it has always worked. Very recently a small bug started where a card was taking up a spot in the tableau but was not identified. The game still worked but I reported it and it was fixed in short order. The app does everything I want and gives options that are good for learning a new game (there are 12) or to make a game more interesting. For example just last month in Klondike I allowed any card versus just kings in the empty tableau column. Changed the game a lot and winning went from approximately 9% of the time to maybe 14%. My strategy changed too. So I highly recommend the game and too bad some apparently have had issues and hence the lower ratings.

Well since the new update, if you try to select a custom background it crashes the app. Also, but this is ongoing not since the new app, about 50% of the time when the message come up that there are no use for moves left you can still easily win the game.
