Solitaire Story vs Splendor
Solitaire Story
Solitaire Story sets the scene by starting its players off with its engaging storyline where you are charged to help a little blue dragon to stop the evil witch from releasing her toxic potion that will poison the realm. The gameplay in this game is also as exciting mainly due to the combo system that's in place. So, it's actually beneficial for you to plan your moves ahead and chain up your card matches. Not to mention, the game does try to spice things up by adding in new elements, such as the lock and key cards, to the gameplay. There are plenty of power-ups to buy as well if you realize that you need some help with a level.Solitaire Story is a wonderful and somewhat easy-going solitaire game that would be a perfect alternative game for fans of Solitaire Tales. The game isn't very difficult to play but it's challenging enough to get you asking for more levels!
Splendor
Splendor is the official digital adaptation of the popular cards-and-chips game of the same name. In this game, you'll work on increasing your prestige by trading gems and developing your town. With time and enough development cards, you may even attract the attention of powerful nobles to gain even more prestige!The gameplay can be a bit harder to get into especially if you have not played the game before, but once you do, you'll realize that the game is actually quite simple to play. Of course, "simple to play" doesn't mean "simple to win" though! You will still need to play a ton of matches before you can develop your own unique strategies which you then use to one-up your opponents. There are also single-player challenges for you to hone your Splendor skills!
This digital adaptation of Splendor stayed true to its original cards-and-chips game, but I find it falls a bit short of its full potential, mainly because it doesn't make full use of what the digital world can offer.
