This one isn't a HOG or an adventure game, since it's a card game based story, but it has the feeling of being immersed in an "over-the-top" Regency/Victorian romance novel. It's an intriguing concepts and the art of the layouts is dazzling.

I used a credit on it, and I'm having great fun with it. Some of the layouts, especially the "no deck" ones, are very challenging. Is anyone else trying this one out?

If anyone wants to give it a try, it can be downloaded Here.

I was going to try it, but I haven't had time. I still play Top Ten Solitaire when I am in the mood for cards. It's my old favorite and I'm a creature of habit. lol

Hi Cynder!

I tried and bought it also. I don't particularly care for the 'beating husband' angle, but I do like the card game itself and the story line looks to be uplifting as it progresses.
yay

Anytime BFG-Guy! I've played many different Solitaire games and there were some great ones like Fairway Solitaire, but nothing beats my old faithful Top Ten! It's a keeper.

I would love to buy it Top Ten but am having trouble during the demo. I can't seem to get out of the game, so having to go to CAD to get out. Guess I'll write BF and see if there have been any problems with the game with the updated drivers etc. Just my kind of quickie game that fits into "having" to be somewhere in 15 minutes. I'll add my thanks to BFG and all he and his company does to promote gaming at a VERY reasonable price and good customer satisfaction. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Heartwild is really pretty - I love the colors and the music and the fantasy aspects of the decks and tables and things... but I wish the story hadn't started out quite so shockingly! (I almost said "like a slap to the face"...)

It was just a bit much as the very first thing to see in the game. I don't mind big dramatic elements but I'd rather build up to them.

Ugh! Top 10 Solitaire is the best. I played it all the time on my XP computer... now I downloaded it on my new Vista and it won't play... frown It has a lot of different games. I loved it.

I don't like solitaire where the only challenge is matching cards... I like a bit more strategy.

I tried Heartwild Solitaire and though it's pretty, I'd like a bit more variety in the type of games you can play.

I wish I could get a Windows or Mac version of the "Patience" collection that is available for Linux. It includes a game called "Grandfather" that is probably my favorite. It's close to what is called "Russian Solitaire" in most solitaire collections, but allows 3 redeals and is not as difficult to win. The guy who programmed it named it "Grandfather" because his Grandfather used to play it, so it doesn't resemble the "Grandfather" solitaire in most solitaire collections.

Jenny... I tried to find one for you but all I found was:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_(solitaire)

And this link is a downloadable Linux version:

Yes that's the game. But in order to have it on a Windows or Mac computer, you have to install Linux inside VMware, which is a very resource-intensive way to play a mere solitaire game.
