We discovered ABC Solitaire last fall and is the only game that we play every single day. It seems we are easily bored with game apps on the iPad because we play them for awhile but will then lose interest relatively quickly. Not so with ABC Solitaire. In fact, after a few months I insisted my husband load it on his own iPad because every time I set my iPad down, it was immediately in his hands and he was playing it — and thats saying a lot because hes an anti-game person. Its literally the only game he plays.
ABC Solitaire remains challenging because no two games are ever the same and it is irritatingly addicting! With a few minor tweaks I would easily rate this a five-star game. Its frustrating that the game clock doesnt pause if you have to step away from a game in progress, there are far too many buttons to press to continue a game once paused, and its exceedingly frustrating when you have bonus hints stored and they get taken away from you when the game is inactive for any more than a short time. It seems like these would be easy fixes. The games developer told me the clock did not stop to thwart fraud on the leader board. Perhaps I dont know the nuances of cheating, but I cant see how the constantly-ticking time clock foils cheaters.
I have yet to find another game app that comes anywhere even close to the addiction level of this game. Its mentally challenging and wholly engaging.
