Seven Seas Solitaire

Arr! Ahoy, me mateys. A pirate themed solitaire game awaits thee! It's the "3 Towers" type of solitaire (the kind used in Faerie Solitaire) where you have to clear the board by clicking on cards with a number either higher or lower than the current one in the discard pile. You can work up some pretty good chains by going back and forth like this: 5-6-7-6-5-4-3-2-3-2, etc. you can use a cannonball as a wild card (it shoots off one of the cards on the board) and continue your chain. There's a story for those interested in that. Something about boy meets girl, fall in love, but girl's father doesn't want her to marry boy. Blah blah blah. I've been skipping it since stories are not my thing. But it's there for those who love stories. Gameplay is solid, they give you enough cards in your deck to clear the board most of the time. Of course, luck is a factor and sometimes you'll have to replay a level if you want all perfects. Some cards are locked and you have to do something to unlock them, and some have to be used twice to be cleared. Unlike other solitaire games similar to this, there are no wild cards with numbers, just cannonballs that can be used on any card, but you don't get many cannonballs. Most I've ever had at one time was four. And there are no other special powers, like in that dragon one where you have to wait for the meter to fill up and you can use their power to slash a card off the board. However you can buy upgrades like "Remove four random cards at beginning of a level" and it does it automitically. So there are upgrades you can buy to help you out but they are not ones you activate yourself. Mostly you gotta rely on your pirate wits, arrr! The graphics are decent, pirate characters on the faces of the cards, even a monkey and a kraken! Or you can switch to just the normal number card faces if you like. There are nice touches like the journal log of your journey that tells the story, and after clearing a level the results show up on a piece of sailcloth with a spar above and ropes dangling. Stuff like that really sets the scene nicely. Music and sounds are okay. Can't think of anything else to say right now. I've played a lot of different solitaire games and this one ranks high for me as a favorite and one I definitely would play again in the future!

Seven Seas Solitaire is a simple, sweet and really fun game to play. The gameplay is straightforward, you pick a card higher or lower than the one in your hand and make chains to clear the deck. Easy as that. It follows the same rules as a lot of other solitaire games on steam, and as a huge plus it even has the option to redo the last hand you played so that you can try again (and again) for that perfect 3 star score! The usual items can be bought with in-game gold to improve your gameplay and these come in the form of upgrades for your ship (The Falcon) and island- very nice idea! There's a chance to unlock mini-games called Tides of Fortune and these can either help or hinder your progress in your current game and I found them to be a nice little addition to the solitaire aspect, one of them is very hard to aim because its moving so fast but it was still fun nonetheless! The artwork is simple yet effective and the sound effects/music is just right for this type of game, nothing too distracting whilst you line up those big combos :) I haven't completed the game yet but the story so far is light-hearted and flows smoothly, and I love the way it's portrayed in a journal format. Only a quick review but this game I feel is spot on for a solitaire game and it's one I'm very glad I picked up. The £6.99 pricetag may be a little hefty I suppose, especially as I don't know how long the game is yet but if you can get this gem on sale or in a bundle then you really should buy it!

[h1] "ЗА ЧЕТЫРЕ МОРЯ Я ТЕБЯ УВЕЗ БЫ" (С) [/h1] [code] [b] Пиратов и морскую тему в целом люблю, наверное, ничуть не меньше всяких карточных развлекух. И когда появилась возможность совместить приятное с полезным - не долго думая, приобрел Seven Seas Solitaire, причем, помнится, даже без скидки. По случаю недели "Пиратов против ниндзя" захотелось внести свой вклад в общую пиратскую вакханалию, поэтому публикую обновленный обзор на стоящий внимания проект от разработчика Anawiki. К слову сказать, название студии образовано от первых букв имен дочерей главного разработчика - Anastasia и Wiktoria. Что же предлагает нам Anawiki? [/b] [/code] [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ СЮЖЕТ ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] По сюжету нам предстоит познакомиться с моряком по имени Бенжамин Флит. Без памяти влюбившись в девушку знатного рода по имени Элейн, Бенжамин понимает, что ее отец никогда не даст разрешения на их свадьбу, а потому подговаривает возлюбленную сбежать вместе на край света. Однако, в обговоренный день побега вдруг выясняется, что Элейн бесследно исчезла, и никто не знает, где ее искать. Но для настоящей любви, как известно, нет больших преград, и бесстрашный Мистер Флит отправляется на поиски своей любви, рассекая волны на большом корабле с гордым названием "Сокол". [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ ГЕЙМПЛЕЙ ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] В Seven Seas Solitaire нам предстоит путешествовать по островам Карибского бассейна. Наши странствия будут снабжены сюжетными вставками, которые подаются игроку в виде дневниковых заметок из корабельного журнала самого Бенжамина Флита. Для продвижения по сюжету необходимо будет делать остановки в установленных пунктах, где нас ждет собственно то, ради чего мы и собрались - партии в солитер. Всего в общей сложности в игре нас ждет около 30 уровней, каждый из которых разделен на 10-12 этапов соответственно. Каждый уровень ставит перед игроком свою уникальную цель - будь то собрать определенное количество золота за длинные цепочки комбинаций, выдать последовательность карт нужной длины, или же просто "идеально" закончить несколько этапов, полностью выбив все карты на экране. Иногда придется выполнять сразу несколько целей одновременно. Периодически, по мере складывания цепочек нам будут попадаться особые карты-события. Получив такую, мы сразу же становимся участником одной из нескольких встроенных мини-игр - "метание ядра", "обстрел вражеских кораблей", "угадай карту" и много чего еще. Изюминка данного солитера - пиратская тематика. Разработчики очень творчески подошли к делу - атмосфера игры полностью настраивает на морской лад. Дизайн карт полностью соответствует обстановке, а красивые морские фоны с соответствующей пиратской музыкой очень расслабляют и здорово дополняют игровой процесс. Но не солитером единым. Карточные партии здесь будут приносить нам игровую прибыль. Полученные горы дублонов можно будет с легкостью потратить - на улучшение корабля или строительство собственного морского форта. И то, и другое по мере развития будет облегчать нам жизнь и давать больше возможностей для успешного завершения уровней. Так, например, за кругленькую сумму можно приобрести себе корабельную пушку, которая при наличии ядер будет сбивать карты прямо вам в цепочку. Только вот снаряды приобретаются отдельно ;) [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ ПЛЮСЫ И МИНУСЫ ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] + Расслабляющий пасьянс на пиратскую тематику + Сюжетная начинка в виде дневниковых заметок + Более 30 уровней с разными целями + Встроенные мини-игры + Возможность строительства своего форта и корабля + Атмосферное графическое исполнение + Приятное звуковое сопровождение + Несколько режимов игры + Набор достижений Steam - Нет русского языка (уровень английского - продвинутый) [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ СТОИТ ЛИ ИГРАТЬ? ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] По итогу, имеем весьма приличный солитер для неспешной игры. Помимо основного сюжета есть возможность сыграть одиночную партию "по-быстрому". Достижения в игре весьма простые и по мере прохождения более чем наверняка выбьются в полном составе без особых страданий. Русского языка на данный момент к сожалению не предусмотрено, но во всем можно разобраться и самостоятельно, хотя судовой журнал читать будет, конечно, сложновато. Игра подойдет тем, кто хочет расслабиться после (или во время) тяжелого рабочего дня, или просто любит карточно-пиратскую тематику. Свистать всех наверх, юнга! Мы отправляемся на поиски приключений!

Редкий образец идеального солитера. За время игры не найдено ни одного недостатка. Играть в него легко и приятно. Уровни выстроены в виде глав полноценной захватывающей истории, которую интересно читать. Обзор очень краток, но поверьте, хорошие вещи в многословной рекламе не нуждаются. Они говорят сами за себя.

One of the worse solitaire games I've had played.

I coveted this game for a single reason: the shiny background in the Steam Marketplace. Behold the shiny background: [url=https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/items/556190/a450c729e4b7110b473617bb510d6056ebea08d2.jpg]Pirate Cove[/url] Unfortunately, when actually run up the old profile it is, alas, disappointing. So, let’s review the actual game. At first I was enthusiastic about this voyage into the blue. I remembered liking Microsoft Solitaire…when I was ten…until I graduated to Freecell. And now, finding I need a reprieve from the doldrums of the empty multiplayer of the highly addictive (and highly recommended) KoiKoi, I thought it would be a worthwhile investment for a shiny new background. Plus pirates. [h1]On the Solitary Main[/h1] Immediately I was drawn in by the brightwork: the art being vibrant and thematic and gorgeous. The menu is trim and runs handsomely even on my dilapidated system. A smooth and easy tutorial helped me get my bearings on this new version of Solitaire. And then I was presented with my very own pirate ship. If you’re a hoarder like all good games have trained you to be, this will be the deciding factor. Once you’re on the account, you get a ship and a pirate kingdom to build and expand. Each upgrade also gives you a perk that makes liberating gold a little easier—for more upgrades—for more gold—for more upgrades. It also helps with the occasional chance and timing minigames. You can then sail your little ship around the map, accompanied by journal entries that recount your personal odyssey, including sirens and cyclopes and old hermits—it sounds like the wrong genre but it really does include just about every pirate cliché you can fathom, along with a few infamous pirates of history that you easily best with your inherent awesomeness. It’s rather more of a Captain’s Courageous than a Captain Bligh tale, and my enthusiasm for the paragraph-long shore-leave from card-flipping was quickly dowsed by the juvenile presentation. This is unfortunate since I found it to be one of the only motivations for continuing to play. [h1]Rules of Engagement[/h1] For you Solitaire shellbacks, you no doubt already know the ropes. But if you’re barely an able seaman, it will take barely a minute to learn. The game is a TriPeaks variation of Solitaire with a motley mess of cards placed in whatever direction they so please (not a standard deck). Claiming cards requires a bit of tacking and jibing to reach a longer run for scoring combos—this is necessary if you actually want a worthy bounty—but there’s no penalty for failure. However, amongst the mermaids and monkeys you will be given obstacles to overcome that prevent such runs. While it might initially seem like a sea-worthy challenge, this is actually an impediment to intelligent playing. The only part of the game that requires any savvy is planning ahead for your next move—when there are options. However, when two columns are blocked off by a sandbar, and another cluster is boarded off by planks, you are left with very few options and sit there instead plinking off, one card at a time, whatever happens to turn up in your deck. There have been occasions when I had only two open columns provided, which, if you do the math, adds up to tedium. And though you can purchase upgrades to see beyond the top card in the column, the number is often obscured, and the number of cards in the pile is often obscured, so again, there is no opportunity for true strategy. Random acts of chance also remove or add half of the gold and much-coveted cannonballs (wildcards) that you have accrued. And with no way to bail out of a game when your luck runs rotten, this quickly becomes dull and frustrating for anybody desiring something of a challenge more than find-the-next-number. But, if you are ten, or if you just want to idly pass time without using your brain-pan, maybe that is enough. [h1]Ambiance[/h1] One thing I can say is that it is a very calming game. It includes some lovely background ambience with waves and birds and creaking timbers—none of that violent pirate stuff. I turned the ambience (♫) up and the annoying systems sounds (🔈) off and was able to enjoy some very relaxing shipboard downtime (bringing along ASMR [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gl61VwEKwQ]Captain Jamro[/url] for added enjoyability). However, I really missed the soothing sorting of classic Klondike Solitaire. In this version, your cards just sink into the depths of the discard pile; there’s no stash of triumph for the cards to come gleefully spilling down from. [h1]Charting the Course[/h1] I have not been able to finish the game, but at fourteen hours I have completed fifteen stages, which I reason to be about halfway through. I have no interest in playing longer than this so I cannot tell if you if the story improves. [h1]Recommendation[/h1] While I was initially quite impressed with the surface features of the game, with time my interest was replaced with frustration and boredom. There simply is not enough challenge to the game—which might make it attractive to, perhaps, children, along with the colorful art and easy-to-read story. But I can’t imagine it holding their attention for very long either. A young pirate enthusiast would be far more entertained and learn far more practical buccaneer basics from a game like [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3920/Sid_Meiers_Pirates/]Sid Meier’s Pirates[/url]. For those who would prefer a little more exercise for their brains and enjoy hunting for cutthroat opponents, I invite you to join me in [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/364930/KoiKoi_Japan_Hanafuda_playing_cards/]KoiKoi Japan[/url] as an alternative. Unfortunately the only people I can recommend this game to are those diehard Solitaire collectors who merely play the game to turn off the brain.

해적테마의 솔리테어 게임 스테이지 셀렉하고 10판씩 플레이 해서 목표 달성하는 게 일단 지겹고 10판 중간에 템좀 사볼까 하고 맵으로 빠져나올경우 저장이 안되있어서 다시 첫판부터 시작됨 그리고 중간에 이벤트 카드가 가끔 나오는데 미니게임은 재미없고 함선에서 대포를 쏴서 필드 카드를 없애고 그 카드를 가져오는 시스템인데 초반에 부정적이벤트 막는 템이 없을 시 한발에 7,500원인 대포알도 가져가고 내가 열심히 모은 골드도 가져감 게임에 영향은 크게 없지만 왠지 기분이 더러움 그리고 마을이랑 함선 업그레이드 비용이 비싸서 골드가 딱히 남아돌지도 않아 대포도 막 못쏨 마지막으로 플레이했던 스테이지 자꾸 반복하는 느낌임

I'm enjoying this game. I love the ships/pirates/high seas theme, and so far they're doing a nice job with the story and I really like how the story is told through entries in the captain's log each chapter. I love the sound effects during play - the sound of the water and birds and the ship creaking etc. The game play is solid, the graphics are bright and colorful and fun. UPDATE: the first 3 or so chapters or so were super easy. I'm now hitting games that I don't clear the board. It's not every single game but it is happening more frequently - this is great because it's now more challenging. Extra bonus - you can replay a game, and, if you want, keep replaying until you get a perfect score.

Not used to this Solitaire version personally and it has some extra mechanics with octopie (sp?) and cannonballs and such as well... A solitaire game with a story is certainly not common and one where you can build a base as wel...I'm thinking; not common at all... Graphics are nice and colourful, gameplay did take a little getting used to, it's basically to play a card higher/lower than the one shown but like I wrote you also have other different mechanics. (some cards are damaged so you have to repair them and that's done by getting to the tool...) It's a bit hard to explain but I like it quite a bit TBH, I'll be playing more of this.

Overpriced game that 'features' one of the most broken joker cards in any solitaire game. You can lose all your wild cards (cannon balls in this game) or win the hand perfectly which just freezes the game and makes you replay 10 hands in the worst case. Save yourself the trouble and play all the other (better) solitaire games this developer has made.
