Review
“Greek Goddesses of Solitaire” game is a cards game to play alone, as you sure guess from its name, but it’s different from others games alike since it has an story on which the game develops. If you like playing cards and you are alone at the moment, go ahead and try this game out to see if you like it. If you are asking yourself why to play cards on the computer instead of using real cards, there are several answers that come up to my mind. For example, if you are a laptop user, you can play during a trip or a waiting room without the need of carrying a deck with you.
The story of the game tells that Hade Fancis himself quite the solitaire player, but the goddesses say a mortal could match his skill. In a snit, he is gone and locked them all in their temples until a mortal actually beat him! There’s no need to say that the player of the game is the mortal who has to beat Hade Fancis.
A bonus of this game is it has a second game included, called “Honey Bee” which we are not reviewing here but is good you know that if you buy this game you’ll be accessing to two games actually.
The goal of this game is to place all the cards in the “foundations” in ascending order, by suit, from ace to king. About the rules, there aren’t that many. Piles in the tableau are built by placing cards in descending order, in alternating colors. You may move cards individually or as sequenced groups. When you clear a pile, you may fill the empty space with a king or an ordered pile of cards with a king at the top. When you run out of moves, click on the stock pile. You will be dealt three cards at a time. Play them on the foundations or in the tableau. Click cycle to restart the stockpile.
When you enter the game, you get to a selection screen in which you select the game you want to play. When you select the game, you’ll be asked to choose a player name. Once you’re done with that, you’ll be reaching the Main Menu, with the following options:
- Select Player: you can create several profiles to share your game with family and friends.
- Play Quest: to start playing this mode of the game.
- Free Play: to start playing whichever solitaire version you like.
- Options: you can set the music volume, sound volume, and full screen.
- Exit: no further explanation required.
