Currently, it does not seem like my friends know of this game, since I don’t see much competition with my score just yet. This is also a social game, meaning you can connect to Facebook to compete with all of your friends who also play the game. Solitaire Blitz also has Game Center support for leaderboards and 19 achievements, so there’s plenty of replay value in the game. Each treasure will be worth a varying amount of coin.Īs you play, you will also be rewarded with different looking card decks, which you can select if you are tired of the default look (there’s one with a cat!). Coins are earned at the end of each round in the form of “treasures,” which you tap on to collect. Of course, these power-ups will cost you coins each time you want to use them, and unfortunately, they only last for one game, unlike three like those in Bejeweled Blitz. These include items like mines for clearing out your current cards, extra time, extra cards, and more Jokers (these are wildcards). Keeping in line with the Blitz family, Solitaire Blitz also has power-ups for you to use to make the game easier. You also earn more points if you’re faster, and play cards consecutively, without any pause, just like you do in Bejeweled Blitz. But as you play a round, you will end up with two and then three cards at the top, giving you more options and opportunity for matching cards. It will start out with one card at the top, which may be a bit difficult. Of course, since it’s Blitz, you only have 60 seconds. To win in Solitaire Blitz, it’s the same as in regular solitaire: you need to clear out all of the card piles that you have. This can continue until you are out of playable cards, at which point you can tap on the deck to bring up new cards to add, and repeat the process. Except, in Solitaire Blitz, your goal is to clear out the piles of cards by getting them all at the top, and you do this by playing cards that are higher or lower than the top cards. So what is Solitaire Blitz? Think of regular solitaire, where you have the deck of cards at the top and you must clear out the cards that are on the board by putting them in order. The music is also good, and the sound effects are quirky and add a layer of personality to the game. The visuals, including the cards themselves, look fantastic and sharp on Retina screens. Then again, does PopCap ever make a bad looking game? Nah, that’s impossible for them. First off, I’m incredibly happy with how this game looks.
