Enjoy the gold standard for solitaire card games with Solitaire Classic Gold. It's perfect for a quiet moment, to get your brain started in the morning or a relaxing activity to pass the time. Our take on this classic game also includes our Daily Double Challenge, the only solitaire challenge where you must win two rounds so you can start your day like a champion! Based on traditional Klondike solitaire, the rules are simple and easy to learn. If you’ve never played before you just need to arrange the cards, alternating between red and black and disregarding suit, in descending order. Get out your aces and organise them into suits to complete the game. If you get stuck, flip the deck to search for more cards to help you out. There’s even a handy undo button which is great for peeking under a card and then putting it back! You can relax with the soothing sound effects and simple backgrounds, or you can inject a bit of competitiveness by trying to beat your previous score by winning more rounds in a row. Get even more points with round completion and time bonuses. Naturally those bonuses really rack up if you ever become a solitaire expert. Features: ·      Keep on playing whenever you win a round! Winners complete more than one solitaire! ·      Intuitive controls with both tap and drag and drop options. ·      Daily Double Challenge - win two rounds in a row each day! ·      Step by step tutorial (optional because you probably don't need it!) ·      Crisp and clearly designed cards ·      Pick from 1 card and 3 card options for the standard or hard difficulties ·      Undo button to rectify mistakes or try different options ·      Atmospheric sound and music (independently turn these on or off) ·      Statistics for those who love to know how they're playing ·      Cards with class with your own personal solitaire card dealer ·      Improved design and user friendly layout for either iPhone or iPad Enjoy the best solitaire with Solitaire Classic Gold!
