Spider Solitaire – Card Games

Until the recent addition of the joker option, I would’ve given this game five stars. I’ve played a lot of Spider Solitaire games, and this has been my favorite. But the Joker is ruining this game for me. One of the things I’ve liked about this game is that you can earn three chances to undo your last move by watching one ad. You could use an “undo” if you made a bad move and were about to lose the game — you could undo it and make a different play that would allow you to keep playing and maybe even win the game. But now if you make a move that has you stuck, the Joker appears immediately, giving you no chance to use an “undo.” Once the Joker pops up, your only options are to watch an ad to get one Joker card and try to use it to keep playing, or choose “Go to results,” which ends your game. When they first added the joker, I thought it might be OK, because I assumed that it would function as a wildcard. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. You can use it to make some moves, but it won’t allow you to move a column of cards that has a joker in the middle. So the Joker can only help you in a very limited way, which often will not be enough to allow you to win. That’s why I hate the Joker.

The games from this developer usually end up being my favorite when compared to the same game from other devs. This one is no exception. I like the simple interface and smooth gameplay, and I don’t mind paying a few dollars to play ad free. From what I understand, they’re already working on a solution to the only issue I have with it—being able to undo a move before the game automatically ends. I had the same glitch as a few others with not being able to move cards at the bottom of a long row, but it seems to be fixed after a hint suggested moving the stuck cards. It unstuck them, and the issue never came back. A landscape mode that made the cards easier to see would be icing on the cake.

The ads are a LOT, but the game can’t exist if they don’t have them and it works good without ads on airplane mode too. The game is fun, and the ads really show what the game in which makes me so happy because I hate all the fake weird games. And also, unlike other games, it stops you when you have no more moves you could do. Other games rarely stop so u can’t tell if your mind ding something or if you need to start a new game. This game is really fun and totally suggest it. Although, if you ever want to, could you maybe add decorations or something? I don’t know absolutely not necessary but the game style kinda basic.
