This was a nice change of pace. I only played the demo so my review is based on that.
It is a mahjong and solitaire mix but if you prefer one over the other you can choose to only play your preferred way which I thought was a plus.

For the mahjong:
Pros: It was usual type of mahjong.
It had hints and you could remove two random tiles.
Cons: You couldn't shuffle the board.
I felt it was a little too easy. It might get tougher as you go. I was only able to solve two cases which was about 12 games.

For the solitaire: This is a up/down solitaire
Pros: There are joker cards that you start with and they give you quite a few as well as you get one every level. You can also purchase them but it is quite expensive $5000 per. I found I did accumulate money pretty quickly so I am not sure whether this will balance out the price of the joker as you go. There are also two ways you can eliminate two random cards per game.
When you get a card chain you get more cards instead of points which is very useful
Cons: The graphics are a little slow in turning over cards so you might get impatient and miss cards.
You can't re-do the level to clear all the cards. You get one shot so you have to use the joker cards.
It is difficult to get card chains. This might change as you continue.

After you collect the clues for the mystery you go into solving the case. I felt this was a clever way to solve. You are given a grid to cross off suspects or places or weapons according to your clues. Basically you eliminate according to the clues. This requires a little thinking and takes a little getting used to the system but it was a nice challenge compared to the games simplicity.
Overall I thought this was a cute and different game that is nice for a change of pace of the usual HO and solitaire games.
I recommend this game!

This game is great, there are many quests to keep you busy. I also like that after each level up your energy bar increases so you will be able to do more each time. The HOGS are very simple but I find the challenge is in the quests vs the HOG. Very cute game!
I recommend this game!

It was a cute idea and a fun little game up until you came to horrible boss #3. It was just the same thing over and over for each level. The only thing that got challenging was that you had to make higher and higher sales to "defeat" the boss. But even that didn't become too much of a challenge after the third boss.
Just a so-so game. It's too bad because I was really excited about this game, I love this type of life-strategy games but it was a let down, not too much to accomplish or do.

I don't recommend this game.

I was so excited to see another MCF was to be released, I am a huge fan. Then my excitement turned to sever disappointment when I saw that it was so spiritualistic. Now I have to wait for the next game and hope it isn't wrapped up in psychics and ghosts. Please go back to your roots, that is what made us all such huge fans!

It is similar to other strategy games with just a few tweaks. The difficulty is that the time to accomplish the tasks to get the gold is a little too short I think but if you enjoy a challenge then this game is for you. The supplies don't get replenished but that also is what makes this game a challenge. If you enjoy these types of games then this is a must for you.
I recommend this game!

It a quirky and unusual game but that is what makes it so fun and interesting. I love that it is like nothing I've ever played before so you are always left guessing what comes next. I like that there are so many tasks so you will be kept busy for several hours not like a lot of games that will only keep you busy for an hour or two after the demo. Plus there is the challenge of figuring out how to solve some of the problems. You need a good sense of direction because there are a lot of turns and places to explore. I have had to use the map several times but a definite buy for sure!
I recommend this game!

This is a great word game if you like just making words from a board of letters. The challenge is that you have to make a set number of words with only a set number of swaps (swapping letters to make words) per round. As the rounds go the number of words increase and the number of swaps decrease so you really have to be imaginative in creating words. As you score points you get more swaps so it is possible to go pretty far. Definitely try the demo, I almost didn't because of the poor reviews but I ended up loving it and buying it.
I recommend this game!
