2 and half Stars

In Las Vegas, the gambling mecca of the world, there are tons of ways to lose your money, or risk it all for that big win.

SKIP-BO Castaway Caper Review

3 Stars

On the tail of UNO Undercover comes SKIP-BO Castaway Caper, a casual game remake of another of Mattel's card games. If you haven't heard of it, Skip-BO is similar to UNO, but while UNO is often compared to Crazy 8s, Skip-BO more closely resembles Spit, or the traditional card game sometimes known as Cat and Mouse or Spite and Malice.

Gunslinger Solitaire Review

2 Stars

Step through the saloon doors into the Wild West, where you'll try to find the gold mine at the end of the treasure map with your six-shooter in one hand and a deck of cards in the other.

Tri-Peaks 2: Quest for the Ruby Ring Review

3 and half Stars

If it looks like solitaire and plays like solitaire, it must be... a '40s-style serial adventure? Unexpected perhaps, but that's precisely the case in new epic, globetrotting head-scratcher Tri-Peaks 2: Quest for the Ruby Ring. Taken as a whole, the number-crunching game - which fuses a simple card-counting play mechanic with attractive animations and classic tomb-raiding elements - happily far exceeds the sum of its individual parts.
