Solitaire games are a change for me, so I'm still trying easy-ish games. This was too easy. There's no story, just earn enough points, for a building. Keep going, until you have a kingdom. Can't comment on sound, as i turn off. The cards are clear, and sharp. Game is spoiled, as, what you need, is crammed together, at the bottom. The undo button, is just above the bonus cards, so easy to hit one when wanting the other. Power-ups are above the deck. When trying to get some speed going, I'd click the power-ups, instead of the deck. Also, it's a long way round, for a short cut, to exit the game. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the game.
The game - to me, anyway - was far too short. There is no challenge, either. Yes, this is a family game, and most will enjoy a Christmas themed game.This game is definitely a no-no for me.The other Christmas Stories didn't seem as short, or easy, so I bought this, without playing the demo. The story is nice though, with crisp, clear graphics.
The 3 others in this series are really good, and fun to play. I thought this would be as good. It's not for me, as, there are too many explosions, which, in some cases, just about clear the board. Maybe the game settles down, and becomes more challenging, the further into it you go. I can't comment on sound, as, I mute it all. The figures are still as cute though. Good vibrant colours.

Demo only. Great! A new M3. Not great! The game is so 'mind numbingly' boring. Slow to play. I didn't find an option, to change the cursor, which, is big, awkward, and somehow at the wrong angle. (For me, anyway.) Also, there's nothing to aim for, playing the game. Pointless, really.
I don't recommend this game.

As soon as I started playing, in huge letters, 'AWESOME' 'TERRIFIC,' started appearing every few seconds! Why? I played a few levels, but, couldn't get any speed up, due to these really annoying words. There's absolutely no need. A potentially good game, ruined. For me, anyway.

I disliked this game, as, in my humble opinion, it's obviously aimed at young children. I can't comment on the music, apart from at the start, before I got to press the mute button! Graphics amateurish. Again, maybe for the younger players. Although the timer counts up, I found it distracting. That's just personal choice, as I never play time management games. I can't recommend this game.

The play board is small, so each level is over in no time. That said, there is an absolute load of levels. Don't know exact number, as I haven't finished the game yet. It is fun to play. The Halloween theme, is a break from the usual M3 games. If you just want to chill, and give your brain a rest, after a hard day, the game is not at all challenging, so give it a go. Enjoy!
I found the game reeeally slow! Made worse, by the treasure chest appearing at the end of EVERY level, to fill up with the squares collected. The play board is way too small. There is also, a very annoying fairy in bottom corner moving and waving constantly! Definitely a children's game. Glad I tried - not for long - the demo. Boring!
I don't recommend this game.

It's one of them games, that doesn't fill the screen. Even after I'd clicked 'full screen' in options, it didn't enlarge much at all, remaining narrow, so not for me. It's so simple to play, and not at all challenging. Another reason I wouldn't buy it.
