Age of Solitaire : Build Civilization Reviews

It's so much fun! It's the best Solitaire game ever!

Skip this if you are obsessed with achievements. This is a game made for the long term, an easy pick up and play when you have a bit of spare time. Solid solitaire game with a pleasing art style, been using it to start my brain in the early morning before my shifts. Nothing new, but also doesn't do anything wrong, just what it needs to be to scratch a solitaire itch.

Pretty simple and casual game. Straightforward: play solitaire, earn points, little islands unlock areas. Once everything from a single era (like Stone Age) is unlocked you move onto the next. Was looking for something sweet and casual and I found it. The graphics are simple but pleasant. The music is super chill. The whole game has a really chill vibe to it and it really helps me relax after a uni lecture (or ever during one :D). To be sure this is definitely not a challenging game. If that's what you're looking for, you might want to look elsewhere. I specifically wanted something that wasn't challenging that I could just chill to. But it's completely worth it if you're looking for something a little more low-key to spin up for a few minutes.

I'm a big Solitaire nerd. The game itself is straightforward. You can choose between drawing one or drawing three as well. If you choose to draw three, you will get a scoring bonus. The maps are pretty cute, and the cards are nice and clear. Really relaxing and I enjoy timing myself and seeing the scoreboards, as well as building the little towns.

I am such a nerd for solitaire and this is such a great version of it for some casual relaxation. The UI is sleek and un-intrusive while the graphics are simple, bright, and fun. Any and all movement/animations are very smooth and there is no lagging whatsoever. My only frustration is that there are achievements for which I've met the criteria but they haven't popped for me, however I just bought this game as a way to unwind so it's not that big of a deal. EDIT (4/11/24): Despite the developer's response to my review, I still am not getting achievements from this game so I doubt that the issue will actually be fixed at this point. However, there are other users that are playing who do seem to have earned some achievements so I guess if you're a completionist proceed at your own risk. I would also like to note that 40+ hours into the game I am in what I believe is the industrial age and progress has slowed to a CRAWL. But I also just love solitaire so I'm not that bummed. I keep coming back for more so I can't knock it too much.

Very nice graphics and UI. The problem is the solitaire itself. Draw 1 card is almost impossible to lose at, so there isn't any challenge. Draw 3 is harder, but there is only a tiny bonus for playing at that level. I just didn't find it very interesting to play.

It would seem as though none of the matches are actually played with a randomized deck of cards. I'm only 18 games in, but I've won every single one of them. I checked the achievements and there's one for getting a 10K winstreak. For me, that removes half of the fun of playing solitaire. Other than that, the little civilizations you build through victories are cute and colorful.
