Card Games Mega Collection

You cannot resize a windowed screen so that you can watch shows in another window; very important at my house. This windowed screen takes a lot of real estate. I did not experience any full screen issues except it does shut down when you change modes. I did not experience the unwinnable games issues either. I've only looked at two games. In Klondike solitaire, you cannot move a partial build of cards from one stack to another to play a trapped card. There’s no law against that. But, here, it’s not allowed. Nor can you recall a card from the final stacks into the playing field. Sometimes that move can win a game. There are also NO UNDOs. This game does not know when you’re out of moves. You have to know that for yourself and quit. “Are you sure you want to quit?” This game also does not know when you’ve obviously won the game. No auto-complete. You have to click each and every card to their destination. And when you’ve won, you get no fanfare; no piccolo playing jesters; no jackhammer marching bands. You get the bland, intentionally polite voice of your valet from the Grand Budapest Hotel saying; “Congratulations. You have won.” If he’s not being facetious (not so sure about that) we’ll grant he is polite. Speaking of Budapest, I DO like the music. Not sure I would buy it for the music. Almost though. In Canasta, you have to pick up and discard as quickly as your robot friends or else you will get reminded every time. “You have to pick up a card please.” Or “You have to discard please.” Again, you will have to decide if you detect any condescending tone. Just know that, if you turn down the voice track, you’ll miss out on any bland verbal “congratulations” at the end of the game. Do we have a good solitaire collection here on Steam? One without trolls or fairy princesses or anime cartoons? One that would compete with Microsoft? I would like to entice my mother to join Steam. As far as I know, this one shows the most promise. Definitely needs some touch up. To be clear, there really isn’t any hotel or valet. Just the voice. Curiously, I realize a slightly cynical valet, bored out of his mind, may bring a welcome change to the usual fanfare because, truthfully, he cannot feel any real pride in my accomplishments after all.
