Sounds interesting..but..800 points for Solitair?! Spades, Hearts, Backgammon and Uno are all 400...c'mon! I guess it's worth at least a demo download.
 
When first read the description, I thought it was going to be a dungeon crawler mixed with Solitare...damn that'd be amazing.
 
Yeah, it seems way overpriced at 800 points. Then again, they likely know they'll sell some, or they'd price it lower. I still can't believe Texas Hold 'Em is as expensive as it is.

:rofl:
 
None of this matters...

Nothing but halo 3 will be played or be noticed on 5/16. They might aswell release a game that no one would play in the first place.

I dunno, I'd rather play this than Halo ;). I'd get it for sure at 400 points. 800 is kind of high though...

Uh, well it is in the OP:

* In two-player mode, two games take place at the same time, and both players share the same foundation piles, prompting a fight over the piles in the race to win the game
* In co-op mode, players work together to attempt to finish the game with the best score possible, and players also have the ability to pass cards to each other

I have no idea how well that would work or how fun it would be, but there's your answer...

Probably why they went with this instead of something like Band of Bugs.

800 points is too pricey for any card game.
 
Well, the demo was really a solid product. I find it a lot more fun than I really think I should, and for 400 pts it would be a no brainer. It is still tempting even at 800.

Mostly because it has a lot of the same relaxing, easy play charm Uno did.

I completely agree here. The entire time I was playing, it felt like a solid experience throughout. Good production values and variety. I'm tempted to buy this one.
 
[quote name='Kaijufan']Microsoft should have also given away this game. This should have been free XBLA game week.[/QUOTE]

Wasn't their choice.

They didn't make it.
 
I played the demo.. I deleted it. I know I have 14,000 points in my account (LOL)..but 800 is steep for a card game.. seemed ok..but I don't know that many different card games...;(

So no go for me.
