The following game is actually a demo of a much larger game that includes over 70 card games. This demo however does offer four full games for you to play, so I thought it was worth including in the free games project. They games that you get are not limited, so effectively you have four free card games. I realize that there are loads of freeware card games, but the presentation of this particular set is immaculate and very pleasing to the eye.
3D Solitaire: (11.74Mb)
Free Solitaire 3D includes four solitaire games; Beleaguered Castle, Gaps or a.k.a. Montana, Pyramid, and Twenty. The game features a lot of customization options and the decks in the game can be printed out by the player.
In a word, "wow." I'm not a regular solitaire player but if I had to choose what solitaire game I'd have in my PC, it would be this one.Granted the game choices are limited and do not include the more popular solitaire games, still the level of detail this game has in terms of cards and table as it's rendered in 3D is pretty amazing. The game offers four solitaire games, namely; Beleaguered Castle, Gaps, also called Montana, Pyramid, and Twenty. For those unfamiliar with these games, there is no need to fret. Being new to these games myself, I found the game's tutorial and the rules it provided to be helpful and easy to understand.
The sound aspect is typical of card games, some sounds of shuffling, cards being flipped, and other usual fare in these games. What really drew me in was the game's graphics. The cards look gorgeous and the table or play area really gave out the card table vibe. Behind the scenes, I discovered that there was a whole bunch of options available for setting up your card game. You can choose the art in front of the cards (the faces) or the art at the back of the card. You can choose what kind of playing table your cards are played on, the lighting's brightness, the placement of the light, and whole lot more. There's even an option setting that sets how neat the cards are placed on the table; from aligned straight, to the somewhat less linear human, to the downright sloppy card distribution. It was fun to fool around with this setting, as it was refreshing to see a card game that did not line up the cards no human could ever do in real life.
