ss U dont enjoy free cell-I think about my first experience with it and it takes me back to one of the old extinct dinosaurs that had like 6 games that came free. I remember my frustration and anger upon playing it. I vowed I would never get it. But, I had so little on the computer (and no internet) that slowly I played it…I cant remeber when it became easier, but, I know it did. I think one of the key points was when i realized i needed to take it where it was…meaning if it was a black 8, i would look for a red 7. The aces of course are freed up and stacked. But, I no longer tried to concentrate on the Kings and the Aces, but took it as it came…dont know if this helps you or not…and u can think about it, as this album will be available awhile before it is on sale or retired.
As for RDS, just play on easy (one suit) and practice till it becomes easy to solve, then try medium (my fav) with 2 suits–I still have probs with hard–4 suits, so cant help ya there…but, it DOES get easier with practice and there are enough power-ups to solve each and every game if easy can be the playing level-snd the undo button is very user friendly too. Try it again if this becomes important to you.

I love most solitaire games, but hate hate hate freecell, and really can only do RDS on easy. So, I would love to get both these albums, but – I guess in the long run – they arent worth it to sit thru that many freecell games….especially since Pogo LOVES weekly freecell games and I get enough then. *sigh*

Hello everyone. I finished this album today and I have to say, I really enjoyed it (maybe b/c I am a solitaire freak, lol)I just love solitaire games, which I am so good at. This album reminds me alot of Solitaire Playland (which I also did).Good luck to those doing this album.

Dave, i’d say it certainly is always worth it to save almost 2 bucks —

– the pleasure of accomplishment is exactly the same whether you’re buying an album when it first comes out — or later.
– just like with other purchases, full price is usually too high — and padded so sellers can profit — for the product being sold, and most products will be on sale eventually. We’re all trained to wait for and to buy things on sale in real life — why should this be different?
– the economy stinks — 2 bucks matters a lot to many of us — every penny does, nowadays.

For me, buying the old solitaire album at 1/2 price instead of the new one is just like me buying 1/2 price halloween candy the day after — the holiday makes me think of candy, and want it — like the announcement of the new album made me want that — but i know that waiting pays off in multiple ways.

Food for thought,
Just a side note to those that wants to wait for an album to go on sale at 50% off.
when you purchase Gems lets say 350 for 19.99 thats a little over .057 cents each, if you purchase a $5.99 album with 86 gems it cost you $4.91 and when you wait on it to go on sale for 50% off that will be $3.00. so is the wait worth $1.91 a yr or so down the road??
