“HeartWild Solitaire” game is a cards game to play alone, as you sure guess from its name, but it’s different from others games alike since it has an underlying story going on. If you like playing cards and you are alone at the moment, go ahead and try this game out to see if you like it. If you are asking yourself why to play cards on the computer instead of using real cards, there are several answers that come up to my mind. For example, if you are a laptop user, you can play during a trip or a waiting room without the need of carrying a deck with you.
When playing HeartWild Solitaire, you’re following the story of a woman whose heart was wild once, and now she’s regretting the way she has lived her life. She’s married with an authoritative man and sister of a woman who has killed her husband. Kind of sad story considering this is a game. Anyway, the story doesn’t have much importance on the game.
The goal of the solitaire is to clear all the cards from a certain layout. To do that you have to make pairs of cards that match their values. E.g. two fives go together. Each time you clear a pair the layout refreshes if you have released some hidden cards, giving you the opportunity of making new pairs. There’s a pile of cards you can use to make pairs if there are no pairs available on the board. Also you can reshuffle the layout and undo some movements if you consider it convenient. There are some special cards to take into consideration. They need to be paired to be clear but you’ll get some power ups on the way:
- Undo: adds one more undo.
- Shuffle: adds one more shuffle.
- Retry: adds one more retry.
- Holder: gives additional holder for your cards.
- Bonus fill: fills bonus meter to the max.
- Turnover: adds one more turnover.
One grate characteristic of this solitaire is that it allows you creating new layouts with its exclusive level editor. It’s simple to create a whole range of possibilities to spice up the game.
When you enter the game, you’ll be asked to choose a player name. Once you’re done with that, you’ll be reaching the Main Menu with the following options:
- Play Game: to start playing the game after a brief introduction.
- Change Player: you can create several profiles to share your game with family and friends.
- Options: you can set the music volume, sound volume, and full screen, among others.
- Help: displays a card-style help information screen.
- Level Editor: to access this feature.
- Exit: no further explanation required.
