CUSTOM CARD MOVEMENTS
All games have presets to the most logical use but you can change them to your own preferences in the settings dialog box!
Access it by opening the app and then navigating from the Home Screen:
HOME → APP STORE → TOUCH OR TAP (button)
All Touch / Tap Preferences are, arguably the most powerful and important features and functions in the entire app.
They are in a category of what we call Smart Moves™ because they realy do exactl that, they are smart moves! The reason they are smart is because we have built special algorithms to automatically move cards to the next logical location from right to left in every game based open cells, card sorting, stacking and game ending!
To see or change how they each function, see the settings below.
Single Touch / Tap
Double Touch / Tap
Triple Touch Tap
All Touch / Tap Preferences are an In App Purchase that is currently free to all users.
CARD ACTION AND SPEED
There are three settings at most in any given game and every single game is customizable. So one setting does not fit all games. We have allowed you to customize it on a granular level by game and by card set!
Each game will determine how the touch tap preferences as each game has different behavior and speed.
Here are the most common settings you can choose from in any given game! Open them up and set them as you so desire!
- Move a card or all cards in a stack from anywhere to its foundation
- Move a card or all cards in a stack from anywhere to a tableau
- Move a card from tableau to a waste ile
- Move a card or cards from tableau to tableau
- Move a card from tableau to an open cell
- Move a card from an open cell to a tableau
TO A COLOR FOUNDATION
Move colored cards or completed stack up to their colored foundation in order at any time!
In games of FreeCell and Klondike, you can move the lowest card (always the 1 Card in any colored suit) up to its an empty colored foundation at any time its available as a top card. We use the color card foundations to as build up to the highest card in the set based on the rules of the game!
In games of Spider when you have completed a stack on the tabletop, you can then move the entire stack up to any open color foundation all at once.
One of tricks to the game is knowing that you can always pull cards back down from a color foundation in order to move cards off of a tableau to free up cards underneath of them. This is quintessential at times in the higher card stacks to uncovering them all and resolving the game.
Even more important than that, is moving stacks to other stacks to free up an alternating color when identical suited cards with same values appear. This is explained in greater detail in the Tips & Tricks Section.
TO AN OPEN TABLEAU
Move the highest card in the suit to any open tableau!
In Games of Klondike and Spider, you will want to move the high card into any open column once they become available as you begin to sort colored cards.
Regardless of which game you're playing the low cards and the high cards in any card set always have a profound effect on how you sort the cards and win the game!
FROM A TABLEAU TO A TABLEAU
Automove cards to where they belong with single, double or triple touch / taps
All games have pre-defined touch / tap preferences for the most optimal game play, but you can customize them if you wish through the Home Scene → Settings → Touch/Tap Preferences.
All touch / tap preferences are mapped to the specific game you are playing and the cards will automatically move to the most logical location they are eligible to move.
You can see more or learn more about the Touch / Tap preferences Touching the Specials icon in our App Store.
These features enable our customizable Smart Moves™ all of which allow you to quickly Undo or Redo moves with a left or right swipe or you can automatically move cards to their most logical next location and Auto Finish a game with a diagonal swipe in any direction.
These Smart Moves™ help you obtain the highest scores, shortest times and fewest possible moves all of which are necessary if you want to top the global leaderboards or level the playing field in head ups competitions against other players.
HINTS ON / OFF TO HELP YOU SEE ALL THE SMART MOVES™
Toggle the (?) in the lower part of any game to turn the Hints timer on or off!
All games automatically start with the HINTS ON for brand new players. You can toggle the Hints on and off by touching the (?) on the lower section of the app.
You can customize the amount of time delay before the Hints turn themselves on in the Settings section of the App on the Home screen.
The Hints use algorithms to calculate the cards that are on the screen and give you the most logical cards of the highest value first to move. All Hints move from the far right to the far left by design as that is the natural organization of sorting cards. This may not always be the best move. It is simply a Hint of what is a logical next card sequence to move. You still have to use your human brain, skill sets, logic and deductive reasoning to play and win the games.
We have absolutely zero Artificial Intelligence inside the game in being able to calculate which games can or cannot be won or the fastest way to win the game. We simply leave it all up to you, a human being to ensure there are no possible ways to know how to play the game better or faster than anyone else, especially in a competition. The core of all gaming is integrity and we ensure it at all times. The only Smart Moves™ we have in the game are how to automove cards to open foundations to end a game and it will stop once it runs out of cards or the game ends by clearing off all the cards. If that happens the game is over and you get our custom and completely random "Card Spill" experience at the end!
ANY WHITE CARD™
Move Any White Card™ to the Any White Card™ Foundation at any time!
The number one reason why games cannot be solved in traditional solitaire is caused by a necessary card being trapped underneath another card that you can't find or get to.
The white suit finally resolves this problem!
The White Cards™ do many different things, depending on which format of Full Color® Games you are playing.
In Full Color® Solitaire, the White Card™ serves as a BONUS CARD and here is how it works.
Any time a White Card™ appears, you can immediately remove it to the Any White Card™ foundation, regardless of its number. This turns the White Card™ into a "free card" or a "bonus card" whichever way you'd like to look at it.
As you can see in the video above, a 12 of WHITE CARD™ appears and you can instantly tap it and move it to the Any White Card™ Foundation and you instantly unlock the card below it which in this case is the 9 OF GREEN.
You can either touch / tap the White Card™ and it will automove on its own, or you can touch and drag it or you can use diagonal gesture swipes to automove it.
You do this at the start every game, after every deal and any time another White Card™ appears!
But don't be fooled, just because you have an entire suit of free / bonus cards to move, you still have to apply skill sets of logic and deductive reasoning to win! Just know that if you don't win in games like Klondike, FreeCell or Spider 1, 2 or 4 Suit, it doesn't mean that it can't be won, it just means you made a mistake somewhere along the way, need to restart the game and make a new combination of moves to get to the end!
TOUCH / TAPS THAT WILL NEVER WORK
You CANNOT put the same colored suited card on the same colored suit!
Just like a game of traditional solitaire, you CANNOT put the SAME COLORED CARD on a SAME COLORED CARD in any column. It will bounce back and to where it started from!
The rules are simple, in games of alternating colors, simply sort all of the colored cards DOWN in numerical order in ALTERNATING colors while removing any white cards along the way!
The ultra advantage in Full Color® Solitaire that you do NOT have in traditional solitaire is now you have THREE different suits to create alternating colors for sorting, resolving and winning a game whereas in traditional solitaire you only have two red or two black to sort from, meaning you do not end up in a sorting death trap!
Have fun!
