“Sit back, relax and think… Solitaire and Mahjong may be considered as two of the most well known casual games around. Napoleon Bonaparte was said to have played solitaire during his exile while Confucius has been … More >>
Solitaire and mahjong games have been done over and over so I was hesitant to purchase one for my Wii. This one is pretty nice. Interface is easy to follow and you have over 100 different types of solitaire and mahjong games to choose from. (I didn’t know there were that many variations!) With so much content I think this one is money well spent.

I love these two games and thought they would be nice on the big screen instead of playing on my computer. The graphics are so simplistic as to be hard to read. Mah-Jong allows you to zoom in so that you can actually see the tiles, but then you can’t see the whole stack. Solitaire doesn’t allow a zoom, and the cards are too small to easily read (even though they don’t use the entire screen). I have to squint to see if it’s a 6 or an 8.
Basic features on computer versions of these games are missing like:
* Ability to retry the same mah-jong game when you realize you can’t win
* Automatic Ace placement in solitaire (you must tediously go through every last card to receive the lame congratulations).
* Hints; tips when you get stuck.
* Choice of easier to view tiles in Mah-Jong.
* Lots of choices but only one version of important Solitaire families like Spider, Free Cell or Yukon.
* Double click sometimes moves cards in solitare, sometimes not
* Cards are very hard to place in Solitare
And the cursor for some reason has little sparkly things swirling around it that’ll just drive you nuts after awhile.
This could have been a really nice game, but ultimately disappointed.

I had mahjong and solitaire on the computer.
My mom really like playing the game on the computer.
She had back surgery and now finds it uncomfortable to sit on the chair for the computer.
I bought this so she could play the game sitting comfortably in front of the tv.
It works out really well. There are several games for both solitaire and mahjong.
You can control the background you want to see and the volume of the music that is played. There are several choices for the type of music you want to hear.
The numbers and figures are larger, depending on resolution of your tv.
Makes it easier for those that may not see very well.
All in all a great game and I am glad I purchased it.

I’m a big fan of both games. I’m addicted to Mahjong and this version has the tilting table that I haven’t had in other versions. The music is the usual, the graphics nice, tiles are large, etc. No complaints. The challenge is getting used to Wii controller for clicking on the tiles.
I haven’t played the cards as much but again, I found no complaints. Alot of options.
Worth the money!!

This game is great! There are LOTS of different layouts for both the Mahjong and Solitaire. It has easy pick up and play instructions, and easy to extremely challenging puzzles.
