About this game

Note: Five Crowns Solitaire is a daily puzzle that utilizes the same shuffle throughout the entire day. Everyone plays the same solitaire. With each attempt to solve all 11 columns, you gain knowledge of what cards are coming and your strategy improves. We encourage you to see how many tries it takes you to win and to challenge and compare achievements with your friends.

Five Crowns is a five-suited rummy-style card game that appeals to a wide array of card players! This award-winning, classic game is a quick favorite features a unique double deck that contains five suits: spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds and stars! This special deck makes it easier to arrange your entire hand into books and runs. The rotating wild card keeps players on their toes!

In playing Five Crowns Solitaire your task is to close out all eleven hands.
All eleven hands are dealt out in a traditional solitaire fashion where the first column has 3 cards, the next column has 4 cards, the next column 5 cards and so on until 11 columns are visually displayed to represents the 11 hands that is played in the multi-player version of Five Crowns.

From the cards remaining in the deck, turn over the top card. Looking at all the hands, play the card in whichever hand you feel will benefit most, and discard one card from that hand. The discard can't be used again. As each card is played the built in analyzer will automatically close the hand (flip it over) according to the normal Five Crown rules.

Play continues as each card is played until either all hands are closed (you win) or the stack of remaining cards is depleted before all hands are closed (you lose)

Ratings and reviews

I'm giving this game 2 stars because the instruction video plays way too fast, and I wasn't able to read it to actually learn and enjoy the game. Was excited to practice this game because it's one of my dad's favorites. However, there's no multi-player option. I figured I would be able to battle AIs since it says it's an offline game. I would actually prefer that vs real people because I hate people waiting on me to take my turn! Getting faster is actually why I'm wanting to practice.

I'm a huge fan of Five Crowns and this solitaire is challenging and a lot of fun. I like that you're given two options of play, one with the standard number of jokers and another with a few extra jokers. Even with the extra jokers you have to plan carefully. Plenty of hints are provided to assist with planning your strategy. All in all this is my favorite solitaire.

This is NOT Five Crowns!!! I want to play the REAL multi-player version! I'd like a single player (AI) option & an option where I can play with my friends & family, like Words with Friends, for example.
