Loved it on 3DS a decade ago - love it on iPad and Mac Now

Solitaire is fine, horse racing I could care less about…. But mix the two with the genius of the Pokemon devs and you have me addicted…

Love the original game on 3DS and this remake is just as great. I slightly prefer the old 3DS graphics and wish there was an option to toggle to them – but the new graphics are excellent in their own way!

I’m a Freak for this Game

Thank you dev team for making this game. 0:) It brings me joy daily. So glad to have these horsies riding around in my pocket again like the 3DS days. The game is right at home on phones with its quick matches and the addition of daily prizes and other mobile gimmicks for this version.
The jockey theme enlivens otherwise traditional spider solitaire, and veterans to Pocket Card Jockey will enjoy mechanical and QoL improvements made to this edition. And then there’s all the cute ponies, Off Course. I just gotta catch ‘em all. Would love to see Chirp’s puzzles again should new features be added in the future <3 Love you!

Controller support

I absolutely love this game but the only thing it’s missing is controller support it’d be so much more comfortable

Thanks

Annoying

This has to be one of the most annoying solitaire games I have ever attempted to play. Way way, way too much verbiage… I must’ve spent the first five minutes, tapping my phone just to get to play a game. Then the obnoxious noises. OMG deleted.

Can’t play the game

I’ve opened and closed this game a zillion times and I can’t get past the screen that makes me enter a name for the main character. Can’t play the game at all!

It could be the great game

Omg, this talking horse is extremely annoying. Gameplay is great, but all those suggestions are really annoying.

So buggy!

Love this game. It was brilliant on the 3ds. Some very annoying bugs in this version. Worth downloading and keeping forever if the bugs get ironed out.

They/them nonsense

You chose a boy or a girl but then the game refers to them as “they.” So sick of this garbage in games.

반쪽짜리 게임

솔리테어 + 경마 로 보이지만
경마파트는 애매함
게임 자체가 우선 같은 방식의 플레이만을 요구하는데
투지 모아서 마지막 대쉬때 달리는 방식이 아니라면 승리하기 거의 불가능함. 그거 까진 솔리테어와의 연계를 위함이라 생각이 들지만
마지막 대쉬를 방해물 없이 달리기 위해 체력 손해를 감수해서라도 밖으로 충분히 빠져서 돌아도 마지막 대쉬 진형은 인위적으로 배치를 해버려서 마지막 대쉬 전 포지션 세팅하는게 아무런 의미가 없어짐
게다가 1위가 아니면 늘 패배를 조언하는 파트가 나오는데 아무리 원클릭에 스킵이 된다지만 특정 아이콘을 눌러야하며 경기 목표는 7~8위내 입성이 가장 많은데 정작 1위를 하지 않으면 다 패배로 판단되어 특정 시기를 넘기기 힘들게 만들어놨음

Absolutely fabulous

Played this on 3DS to death and love it even more on my phone. Nothing gets me more pumped!

One of the best gems from the 3DS now here

And better than ever! Can’t get enough

Excellent game

This is a really great update to a classic 3DS title. Even if you don’t care for horse racing, but would enjoy a slightly more complex spin on Solitaire, you’ll get plenty out of it.

I’d love for this to come to Switch.

Too much dialogue

I wanted to play a card game with my daughter. I didn’t want to read a novella before even being able to play solitaire. Then, you play a short game followed by a ton of dialogue. I deleted it after 10 minutes of gameplay.

Very addicting, but needs more explanation

Love this game, it’s been a blast to play. The point where it loses it’s fun for me is when there’s mechanics that aren’t explained. For example I still have yet to figure out what the skill “international star” does. Also, I have had horses that have raced all the way to 6 years of age, but one of my horses recently, who had been doing very well, lost its first race as an adult shortly into age 5, and I was told it was “at its physical limit” and I needed to retire it. This was extremely frustrating because it was a fantastic horse that could have won even more races and these retirement rules don’t line up with how retirement worked in other cases.

Great job needs more thing then races

And I think that this game needs weekly horses that you can earn by completing challenges and new more ideas into the fact that you want portion of her even though the game is addicting, we’ll just race breed horses and look at items I think maybe mini games are because it’s to know by game freak this is more Robert asking So I think this game should be so much

The Solitaire Horse Racing Game you didn’t know you needed

This game has an addictive game loop that is satisfying, addictive, and will kick your butt. It was one of the hidden gems on the Nintendo 3DS, that few people knew about. You get to raise horses and try to win as many races with them as you can. Horses can also be bred in order to produce stronger horses with favorable traits. The game is surprisingly deep, and challenging.

My only gripe with this version of the game is that you don’t have the option to draw the path of your horse on the path in between solitaire rounds, and that you can only direct them in a straight line.

I truly hope this game gets a sequel someday. Everyone should give it a try!

Really fun racing and breeding

This game was initially very hard, but the developers listen and have made good changes to make it easier for average players like me. They now have an easier “normal” level, and the new challenges section is a series of tutorials that are actually helpful, as well as a daily extra bonus system.

I love how breeding involves the genealogy and temperament of the horses, and also the mystery of not knowing how each horse will do.

This game takes time to master but it’s well worth it if you have patience.

My two gripes with the game are the annoying pop-up characters. It would be better if there wasn’t so much back and forth talk between them. Just get to the point! Also, I often run out of boosts which are frankly necessary to move forward, so much so that I usually only race once a day so I can get a new bonus to use, otherwise I would ruin my horse. If we won more money and got more boosts, I would play a lot more
throughput the day.

This is a great game and I highly recommend it!

Confused

What is going on with this game!? It has such good potential to be addictive but the complexity is enormous - I just had a lecture telling me what I did wrong on the last race and near the end felt like I should have taken notes!

So much nuance in such a simple concept

I love how much variability there is to this game. It’s a basic solitaire game with a countdown clock but you have to balance your energy and stamina with your placement on the track and risks of collecting extra cards or taking harder deals. Add that with the many unique abilities each horse can have and their own preferences in terms of race length and position in the pack. It all makes for a very fun game that doesn’t feel repetitive.

And finally, the breeding aspect is a great way to stay invested longer term and strive for better and better horses. Just an all around great combination of a game you can pick up and play for 5 minutes but also has fun long term playability. My favorite game in Apple Arcade hands down.

Fun but frustratingly rigged

The only way to enjoy this game is to give yourself over to the game as it will very obviously only allow you to win levels it decides it wants you to win.
