Solitaire with a Challenging Twist!

Jewel Quest Solitaire takes you on an adventure through the South American Jungle matching cards, swapping jewels and discovering hidden secrets! Featuring unique tri-peaks solitaire gameplay, you must match card suits to earn pieces for the Jewel board turning it to gold.

Unearth buried cards, discover special moves and avoid cursed jewels to solve 114 all new card layouts. Riches and glory are in the cards, play them wisely or your journey could soon end!

Gameplay
Jewel Quest Solitaire combines unique tri-peaks solitaire gameplay with the popular match-three gameplay of Jewel Quest Expeditions.

The solitaire cards are arranged in a variety of quirky patterns and classic vertical lines. Cards in play are moved to the foundation pile if they are one value higher or lower than the card on top of the pile. Featuring on the top screen is the Jewel Quest board, and as you play solitaire, gems will drop into the board depending on the suit of cards you play.

Playing long runs of sequential cards will earn you more jewels. The goal of the game is to turn the entire board to gold by matching sets of three. In Jewel Quest Solitaire the tiles will turn to gold if you cause three or more matching jewels to line up through your solitaire playing. Once you've finished your hand you will be given a chance to complete the jewel board and earn bonus points!

With two gameplay modes, you can either play in Full Quest Mode and follow the story of archeologist adventurer, Rupert Peck, featured in the popular Jewel Quest series or play in Just Card Mode and practice your solitaire hand!

Great Longevity
I already own and love 'Jewel Quest' The jewel quest part of this game is very similar but you have the added advantage of solitaire as well. You can play each of the games individually or combine the two so you work on each consecutively and, depending on how well you do in the solitaire, decides how much work you have to put in to finishing a jewel quest board. This is an extremely addictive, enjoyable and long-lasting game. Some of the solitaire layouts defy the eye and make you really think about how you move your cards to the stack.

Jewel Quest solitaire
I have already had hours of fun with this game. It's more like two games in one. First you play solitaire and if you manage to complete that you then go on to play jewel quest. It's very challenging but at the same time great fun. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes games that really make you think about what you're doing. Brilliant!!!

Addictive!
Having already played Jewel Quest Expeditions (Nintendo DS) and Mahjong Quest Expeditions (Nintendo DS), which I thoroughly enjoyed, I thought I'd give this one a go and was not disappointed.

Not your normal Solitaire, no vertical lines here, a combination of different patterns to keep you hooked. Play the game and the Jewel board fills with the same suit of cards you're playing, the longer your run the more jewels you earn.

The aim of the game is to turn your board Gold, matching sets of three jewels in a line by playing solitaire.

Addictive!

Highly recommended!
