Glitch in solitaire that makes it most unlikely to not win

Postby jinajamm » Thu Sep 23, 2010 10:51 pm

The solitaire game here at tournament games is not like any solitaire game I've ever played, including the original hand dealt game with a deck of cards played by hand. There is a glitch (maybe not a glitch, but nevertheless, it should be fixed or changed so that it can function and be played just like all other regular solitaire games, computer or otherwise) that does not allow you to move a card from the playboard and onto another card on the playboard making it impossible to get to cards underneath that you may need in order to successfully stack the cards in their sequential piles. :x For instance, if there is a black 5 of spades in one collumn and I place a red 4 (any suit) on top of it, and then later need that 5 of spades to put over on my Ace, 2,3, & 4 of spades pile, the game will not allow me to drag & drop the red 4 that is on top of that needed 5 of spades onto a black 5 of clubs that I may have free over in another collumn! :evil: When you run out of plays and you have a move like this that would create more plays, it brings the entire game to a halt & basically does you in- then you run out of time/moves because you weren't able to move that red 4 onto a different black 5 to make that black 5 of spades available.!!! ...and who knows... there may be a card under that black 5 of spades, that could've been played and introduced even more potential moves had you been able to move that red 4 off of it! :( This is the first time I have EVER seen a solitaire game that does not allow you to move a card off of one card and put it on another... Almost every single time I play your solitaire game I run into this problem and just like the guy who played 100 rounds of solitaire straight without a single win, I almost never win a game of solitaire because the odds are stacked against me with the game not allowing cards to be dragged and dropped onto other cards. :evil: Since every other game of solitaire operates by allowing cards to be moved and relocated, including the one played by hand, you should allow for your solitaire game to do the same, because the way you have it set up to dis allow this is absolutely unheard of and it makes playing it here frustrating and unfair. :( :x :evil: i'm just sayin'...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, back when this first started I inquired about the same thing, but now after many years and thousands upon thousands of games I would rather not see the ability to move from stack to stack. The point of solitaire is luck of the draw with some skill built in. Knowing what you have played, what is left, and what >may< be hidden is the single biggest part of the game. For the tourneys to make money to keep the gaming site afloat you would have to raise the scores, change the tournaments etc. to keep the challenge on the same level for everyone.

I prefer to keep it as is, the only addition I would like to see would be a single undo either per game or per tournament entry, similar to the wild card, that would also cost. How many times have you placed a card to realize it would have been better off somewhere else?

Just my two cents, which really are pretty cheap when you consider inflation and the economy!

Peace!!

Ok, I can see where the cost thing would be an issue. I didn't think about that, but had they buildt the game the right way in the first place it wouldn't cost them to change it cuz they wouldn't need to. And you're right about the ability to undo a maove. I wish that were also an option! thanks for your input :)
