(General Introduction) 
You have two ways to enjoy this game: playing the solitaire or answering the quiz. Yet they are not separated. You need first play the solitaire to get chances for quiz. And you will answer better if you play more. 

(Number of Countries/Regions) 
There are totally 175 countries/regions in the game, classified into seven groups by population from high to low, with 25 countries/regions in each group. 

(Playing the Solitaire Game) 
Playing the solitaire requires your observation and patience. You are to remove two same flags each time until all flags are removed. If two flags are positioned vertically or horizontally with no other flags existing between them, they are removable. To make flags removable, you can move flags only one time. Your task is to find out the flags that are potentially removable. This is where your observation and patience are required. And you have only one chance for hints. 

(Answering the Quiz)

Questions are randomly chosen from group 1 to the group that you have just played. Group 1 is the easiest group and each correct answer gets one point. The higher the group number is, the more the point is. There are two question types. You are to answer either the country/region name when you are given the flag, or on the contrary. The number of straight correct answers is highly weighted in point calculation.

Thus, by playing this game, you will not only become an expert of flags, but also you will know much detailed information about each country/region.

### 2/5 — Wrecked it

*2025-12-05, version 19.2.6*

No longer functions. Many code conflicts impede fluent operation. Has been a good product for years, but now overloaded with ads to increase add-on sales. Wrecked the simple pleasure that it formerly provided. Waste of time now.

### 1/5 — Promotional strategy

*2024-07-26*

Shen, 
The Majhong installation app has become activated at obnoxiously inconvenient times again. 

Please limit the times and frequency that it activates—again.
I already deleted Mahjong from my games. I’d rather not have to delete Flag Solitaire also, since I have subscribed to it for years and had so much pleasure with it. 
But tolerance is not unlimited…

### 5/5 — Great Game

Fun game and a learning way to recognize flags.

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2023-01-01, version 16.5*

Great game and I’m much better with my flags! Have tried others, keep coming back to this one…

### 5/5 — Flag Solitaire

*2022-10-05, version 16.0*

I highly recommend it for relaxing.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2018-05-07, version 9.9.18*

Fun game and a learning way to recognize flags.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing mid game

*2016-11-06, version 9.2.0*

Pity.

### 1/5 — Game is not Loading

*2016-08-05, version 8.9.3*

I've been trying to load the game for the past few weeks but it is not loading, so I downloaded the free version and get the same thing. What's up?

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2016-04-09, version 8.8.3*

I first got the free version of this game and really enjoyed it even with the ads. After a year, I got tired of the ad that pops up between games and bought the paid version.  Totally worth it!   I play this game a lot!  It's always challenging and I can play to beat my best scores.  Some of the setups are extremely complicated but always fun.  Other setups are easier and that's when you try to beat your scores.  I have not had problems with it.  You can also learn the flags for other countries!
