Teaching Gamer review Wed, 27 May 2009

Once upon a time there was Minesweeper. And, for that matter, any number of other incredibly simple but terrifyingly addictive mini-games that came free with your PC. Whilst trawling through new releases on different consoles I often wonder why it is that the improvements in memory and technology sometimes make games duller, not better. If, like me, you hanker for something simple, playable and instantly addictive, Jewel Quest Solitaire is the game for you.

The solitaire element of the game is embedded within an Indiana-Jones lite story, complete with some sweet music and sound effects. For anyone who is new to solitaire, an explanation is certainly worthwhile: several piles of cards are dealt and the top card in each pile revealed. The remainder of the pack is returned to you, the player, and the top card turned over. Your aim is to get rid of all the cards from the piles by placing them, one at a time, on the upturned card in front of you. You can only lay one value above or below the upturned card and if you can't continue a run you can turn over another card from the deck until you win, or get stuck and run out of cards.
