Art of Solitaire - Card Games

Best solitaire app! Genuinely has amazing art, plenty to do, and seems to work for different skill levels. There’s easier levels, medium and hard. It’s cool how even if you can’t get a solution, you can use coins to get the answer and see how it was supposed to be done step by step! I don’t quite enjoy the newer “continue to ad” button. That’s because it makes me feel like I’m choosing to watch an ad. I guess I’d rather it be worded more like a warning rather than a suggestion. I love all the different decks/themes you can work towards and knowing their values towards artists makes it feel all the better.

I reviewed this once when it was called Flick Solitaire and was not too happy with how they had nerfed the free reward options. It had become difficulty to unlock even 1 new deck. Now, there is an ad after every round of solitaire however progression has been GREATLY improved. Daily cards, progress by playing, ad supported, and several tiers if you want what is basically a "battle pass." Love that they found a way to support the artists while still making time spent feel rewarding for the player. Best solitaire game on the market. Easily.

I’ve been playing this game for a few years, and I absolutely adore it. I love both the game mode options and the indie artist support. Unlike other developers, I appreciate the disclaimer that all levels are solvable instead of a level generator that frequently messes up. I really hope there will be a future option for a one-time purchase for no ads. Though I understand why it’s subscription based, it’s unfortunate. I just came back to the game after a few months to find the 3.0 update. I wouldn’t say it’s a downgrade, but some aspects are a little laggy and I wish I could skip some of the new animations. When the autocomplete option appears on screen, the button takes awhile to register before it starts autocompleting the level. It’s also slightly annoying that I have to open the card packs and go through the animation before I can move onto the next level. I’m at a point in the game where I have enough coins to buy the decks I wanted, and don’t really have a need to collect anymore. I wish the animation was skippable and if it was enabled that the cards I collected would gather in the tab like it used to.

I recently found out about this game through a post from Queer Chameleon and I’ve really been enjoying it. My only complaint is that the game is laggy when special effects are turned on which I find annoying because having special effects on is the only way I’ve found to see shiny cards. I’d love to see special effects split into two different toggles, one that toggles shiny cards and the other that toggles particle trails and other special effects.
