Well here I am again back at work after an extended vacation to Tuscany. Around the middle of November my girlfriend called and asked if I would like to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with her in Italy at her villa in Tuscany.What?!!! Are you kidding? I have always wanted to go so I packed my bags, got on a plane and had the most wonderful time of my life. It is cold there right now and the villa had a few heating problems but who cares. She was born there so we didn’t have any of the usual tourist problems and I made many new friends. Can’t wait to go back.
While we were there we would sometimes go to the local grocery store and get the makings for some good pasta and a bottle of very cheap but delicious wine and play a game of cards after dinner.
So when I got back and looked at the games I saw the new solitaire game I had to try it out. Turns out to be a great game. Your goal is to match pairs of cards by their value and clear the board. It sounds simple but there is more to it than meets the eye. You have buttons that will shuffle your cards, undo your last move or retry the level. You also have a deck to deal from.
You get bonus points for Perfect match, cards in a sequence, speed or clearing the table. There is a bonus round at the end of each level .You match as many cards as you can in a limited amount of time. You have to be quick to make a lot of points. All the levels have different games. The graphics are excellent and the background music doesn’t drive you crazy. You can make this game as easy or as difficult as you like. I liked it so much I bought it for myself. Of course it ain’t Italy but it’s a lot of fun. Hope you all have a great New Year.
