Great gift for yourself or others

Always on my coffee table; I love it! It increases the power of observation, sharpens the memory, eye-hand coordination and is a lot of fun. Much easier than playing cards, it's portable, fills the time while the TV commercials are on and I find it's a great stress reliever. This is my third handmade solitaire in almost 12 years; So they last a long time and I use them several times a day. Makes a great gift; There I got my first handmade solitaire.

Pros
  • Cool item
Cons
  • Great price

Not very big - if that's what you're looking for

It looks huge in the picture. It's not like this. So if you want the text to be easier to read, go for the backlit option and the larger option (this is about the size of my palm and fingers). The cards are small and the buttons are small. I bought it for my father who has vision problems and big hands. He can't use it at all. I can play it, but it's not good for people who want something really bigger and brighter. I also don't like how some of the keys stick, which shouldn't happen on a new…

Lots of software bugs. not worth the higher cost

I rated this a 1 because the software has many bugs. I've had one of these games for years and this new one sucks. A big problem is that if you draw 3 cards in a row from the deck and start back at the top of the deck instead of pushing forward, the game is lost. The game restarts randomly and loses all settings, including the high score. There are no 20 and 40 points for completing the game by going through the deck twice or just once. Cannot be canceled - previously it cost 2 points to use…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use

Found guides that are missing details on how to actually operate this game.

I bought this for my elderly mother a few years ago and it has never been used so I decided to give it a try (I'm the eldest). I can't figure out how it works and wish the instructions were much more detailed, especially for those who haven't played solitaire in decades. Luckily a customer question mentioned that you should move black cards to red (or vice versa) and not the same combination as from deck to card, I had no idea. I still can't figure out how to move a deck card to an empty slot…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Not the best
