Notable for the way in which it elegantly combines playing cards with puzzle-solving, the Jewel Quest Solitaire series has long been a favorite of casual game fans. While it's more of a natural expansion for the series than sweeping revamp, the same holds true for Jewel Quest Solitaire 3. Marrying simple match-three action with classic tabletop fun, it's a surprisingly deep, yet approachable title that won't leave veterans wowed, but makes for an engaging time nonetheless.
iWin's Jewel Quest Solitaire 3: Klondike will continue the adventures of Rupert and Emma and their friend Ratu when it launches next month. When Ratu discovers a valuable artifact and his assistant Yumi is inexplicably abducted, Ratu is propelled into a treacherous cat-and-mouse game with a gang of thugs. Gameplay combines Solitaire layouts with Jewel Quest board puzzles. There are 100 boards to play, fresh power-ups, hidden treasures, and a "cards only" option for uninterrupted Solitaire play. We'll let you know when the game launches; in the meantime, check out these screenshots.
