Solitaire 3D review

While Solitaire applies to different types of solitaire games, Card Solitaire first appeared in the late 1700s across northern Europe and Scandinavia. The most common solitaire card game is Klondike where card players, after shuffling the cards, have a tableau, from left to right, of seven fanned piles of cards and four foundations. The goal of the game is to build up four stacks of cards starting with Ace and ending with King, all of the same suit, on one of the four foundations. There exist multiple variants of the solitaire card games.

Solitaire 3D is a bundle of 100 solitaire games. As mentioned above, solitaire is a game where you have to clear the tableau of cards by clearing all cards; where players will have completed the game. Solitaire is more of a patience game which is ideal for those who want to relax after a hard day’s work.

As a fan of the Klondike Solitaire game, whether it be discovering with Window 95 way back when or playing with real cards, I’m shocked and surprised to discover so many variants. If you’ve been a fan of the most popular Solitaire variant, there’s plenty here to try and if you’re a fan of patience games, you’re sure to find a favorite among the 100s variants available.

The game plays surprisingly well with a controller; given the lack of “gameplay”, I was expecting the game to take a more point and click approach, but thankfully, while on the cards, you can select the card(s) to move around with the joystick. If you leave the cards “table” to do some menu-ing, it does become a bit point and click, but it still feels great to move around.

Given that you’re looking at cards, the presentation in Solitaire 3D is pretty barebone; not much to report on: you can see and move the cards, that’s pretty much a requirement here. Navigating from card to card is surprisingly well done and intuitive. As is the menu/option navigation in-game. Not much to report on the soundtrack side of things as all you hear is the sound of cards flipping when moving them.

There’s not much to say about Solitaire 3D. It’s a compilation of Solitaire variants; each with its own way to being played. That being said, this is the perfect game to relax. Personally, I didn’t even think that there were to many different version of the simplistic card game I discovered with Window 95 back in the day. There’s a lot of variety of keep players busy for a while. Whether it be a quick game or a few hours, it’s hard not to recommend Solitaire 3D.
