About this game
Zynga's Solitaire is a straightforward Klondike without much ceremony. You draw one card or three, play right- or left-handed, and progress saves automatically, so a half-finished deal survives an interruption. Daily Challenge hands out crowns and trophies for a new puzzle each day, and Special Events let you go back to challenges you missed. An easy option restricts deals to ones with at least one winning solution. When you are stuck there is Shuffle, a Hint for the next move and an unlimited Undo. Decks and backgrounds can be changed, and a statistics screen tracks your record. It's free to download.
Solitaire + Card Game by Zynga: the full guide
What the game is
Zynga's version of Klondike doesn't dress itself up. Draw one or three, choose a left- or right-handed layout, and get on with it. Progress saves on its own, so a deal interrupted by a phone call is waiting when you return.
There's a Daily Challenge with crowns and trophies, Special Events that reopen challenges you skipped, an easy mode that only serves deals with at least one solution, and the standard rescue kit of Shuffle, Hint and an Undo with no limit. You can swap decks and backgrounds, and a statistics page keeps your record.
How a session plays
Open it, and the last deal is exactly where you left it. Finish that, maybe try today's challenge, then start a fresh one. The easy mode is worth switching on if losing to an unwinnable layout irritates you; otherwise the standard random deals keep things honest.
Special Events are the one feature that nudges you to return, since they let you mop up challenge days you missed and keep the trophy cabinet tidy. Nothing about the loop demands more than a few minutes at a time.
Why people look for it
Zynga's name is familiar from Words With Friends, and people who trust that brand search for its Solitaire expecting the same reliability. The lack of a levelling system also appeals to players who find the gamified alternatives tiresome. Auto-save and the make-up events are small conveniences that regular players come to depend on.
Look and feel
Plain table, standard card faces and a few interchangeable backgrounds and decks. The interface is sparse by design, with the Daily Challenge calendar being the busiest screen. There are five screenshots on the listing, and given the feature set they probably show the challenge calendar, the options and a deal in progress.
Updates and upkeep
A 4.6 rating across more than 100,000 ratings is a strong result for a deliberately simple app. Zynga Inc. is a large publisher, and Special Events suggest someone is still scheduling content. The page links the App Store only, so we can't speak to the Android build, and there's no version data to date the last release.
