Solitaire XL 1.1.8 user reviews

Yes...I believe the top scores are all faked.
I have played on the average of 20-30 games per day for the past 3 weeks.
The BEST I can do is if I win 2 games in a row for around 800 points.
Jeesh! For those in the 8000+ score, you would have to win 20-30 games in a row
which is IMPOSSIBLE.
Otherwise frustrating but great app.

Deals are not random. The more you play the harder it gets. At first you can always win the first hand, later even that becomes impossible because of non-random card distribution. It's such a nice looking game it is easy to get hooked but it's depressing to know you're not playing with a real deck. The supposed high scores must be faked or hacked.

It works fine on Leopard.
A bit long animations but that's just because i'm peaky.

more games for mac pls!

The interface didn't even display properly. Bad

Is this someone's idea of a cruel joke? I downloaded the software at the last minute before boarding a plane as something to pass time in flight. The game, as far as I can tell, is unbeatable. I also began discerning a pattern to the deals -- they're not random per se but apparently utilize an algorithm with enough seemingly random variables to make the game appear random. I began to notice that there is always a pair dealt in the cards showing and a third off by one. The value of the paired cards is usually low. (For example two 6s and a 7. In this example, the third 6 is usually one card below a playable card -- giving you three 6s for which you must find three 5s, three 4s, etc.) This forces you to draw very similar cards all of the time and quickly narrows the range of playable cards. Similarly, a key card that would bridge runs of high cards to low cards seem always to buried beneath the stacks so the runs can never be matched together preventing the game from being winnable. Finally, the game does not allow partial runs to be played on aces nor reshuffling of the draw hand. While this may be a clever trick, it does NOT make a game. I think the maker is playing a joke on players.

I liked this game very well. It was fun and enjoyable. Anyone who enjoys arcade games would like it.
