Description:

Pour yourself a Mai Tai, grab a handful of macadamia nuts and double-click the icon on your desktop that says Aloha Solitaire — you’re about to travel to the beautiful Hawaiian islands to play a unique and relaxing solitaire card game.

While the game uses regular playing cards, Aloha Solitaire borrows heavily from the ancient tile game of Mahjong Solitaire (also known as Shanghai). The object of the game is to pair two cards with the same value (e.g. 5’s or Kings) so that they disappear, revealing the facedown cards underneath. The goal is to clear the entire screen to advance to the next stage. If the gamer cannot make a pair with the face-up cards, they must click on the deck at the bottom of the screen to flip up cards that may be a suitable match with those in the pile. The layout of the card pile may be either random or a pre-selected pattern.

Aloha Solitaire can be played in two different modes, normal and hard. Power up cards will help you get to the next level, but use them wisely, as they are limited. Every level has a different challenge and a different look.

Because the game is easy to pick up, and without a time limit in which to complete the levels, Aloha Solitaire is a perfect way to unwind after a tough day. What’s more, the sounds of crashing waves and birds and beach, seashell and flower gradefinitely add to the soothing experience. Now, the only thing missing is a ukulele playing in the background, swaying palms and someone putting a lei around my neck.
