When will developers ever wake up and smell the coffee?? We do not want boring, waste-of-time solitaire games. There are too many already! I know it is possible to create a fun, quality solitaire because I own some excellent ones! That is all I care to say on this irritating subject.
Faith....
I don't recommend this game.
Check out a huge variety of new puzzles in what may be the best Clutter game yet!

Yes, I'm one of the many fans of this wonderful game. Just hours and hours of good, clean fun in each Clutter game and I happily own them all. There are so many unique features and options included in each, even an assortment of music and little inspirational quips. Time options, hints, restart levels and more.
There are also fun word games, quotation games. You can't get bored because you're just driven to succeed at all there is to find, if like me determination is a big factor. Each game is a great big pile of entertainment.
I really didn't find this new addition to be much different from the other Clutters. So since I already have them, I decided not to purchase this one. But if you are considering trying Clutter, just go for it and I think you will really enjoy it and the fun frustration if you like trying to beat the clock. It does, however, also have relaxed mode. Like other reviewers, I highly recommend and think the entire family will like it.

Have been anxiously waiting for another jigsaw. Beach Season 2 offers five categories: Nature, Gaiety, Food, Shopping and Romance.
For me this set of puzzles was very disappointing. I don't know about you, but if I see the title "Beach Season", I expect to see something REALLY beachie. For instance: beautiful sunsets, sandy beaches, sailboats, seashells, ocean, marine animals, palm trees, tropical islands. NOT lots of food, people in fake poses that are uninteresting and shopping marts with tables full of trinkets.
There ARE some very lovely pics in the Nature category. But that's very little when you consider all the other beautiful subject matter that is more appropriate, at least in my opinion!
I am sure these puzzles will delight many of you, but I sadly will not be purchasing Beach Season 2. I cannot honestly recommend it if you are truly looking for the things like I expected to find in this collection.
Participate in a competition for the best garden!

These were really hard for THIS newbie to this kind of puzzle. I was always reading the excited reviewers tell of the Fantasy Mosaic games, so I just finally had to jump in head-on. Glutton for punishment that I am, I bought most of those AND this game!
I am quite good at logic and strategy, but when I make too many errors and have to start over my memory goes haywire. It is difficult at this point, but really so much fun creating the pictures. And oh so satisfying when a picture is finally finished. As I struggled with frustration I sometimes resorted to marking my boxes on a grid sheet when I only had one error left ( basically a form of cheating I guess), to refer to when restarting, but it saved my memory cells from exploding.
Now that it is no longer so frustrating, I love the challenge and find these puzzles surprisingly relaxing and they provide MANY hours, days of fun. Blooming Garden is a favorite, as the pictures are colorful and easy to recognize (like Fantasy Mosaics). After my great learning experience, I can happily recommend this game (and with no cheating!) HURRAY!! If you feel like giving up, just hang in there and you'll discover a new kind of fun!

I totally agree with Biscuitmama's great review. I couldn't have said it better. The developer, I believe, is among the most creative in the world of games that we are offered at Big Fish. You can always count on good entertainment with a satisfying adventure.
I love this particular storyline which captured my interest right away. The HOGs and puzzles were lots of fun and just the right challenge for me. They are consistently excellent from this developer, The graphics, color, detail, characters are all perfect, in my opinion.
I do especially love the Lost Lands series. I own all games from this developer and one of my favorites is Forbidden Secrets Alien Town, The Four Horsemen is a close runner-up.
Best of all is the huge bundle of extra fun in this newest Lost Lands adventure. I get so wrapped up in trying to find everything, it's a great challenge to get them all. Also, the achievements are always a favorite of mine.
For me, this is definitely a worthwhile purchase. I'm looking forward to a gratifying experience for many hours. I'm a slow poke, stopping to examine every little unusual thing I see.

Love crime stories and I really enjoyed this one. Lots of suspects and evidence to find. Some of the techniques that were used to gather evidence and enter the premises were pretty hokey but certainly did not ruin the game. Lots of back and forth but the hint bar was a great jump map if you needed help. The HOGs were excellent and some more challenging than others. About half way into the game, I formed my own scenario and put 2 and 2 together. This murder mystery was fun, I recommend it for everyone.

Never thought a Cursed House 4 would pop up! I have all the other Cursed House games and love them. They are so different from other Match 3 games . This new one is very colorful, the graphics are nice and sharp. I like the tiles on the boards, being easy to see and colorful. Cursed House 4 is fun, unique, challenging, offers a variety of games, lots of levels. I'm sure glad it came along on Bonus Punch Monday! The extra punch makes it even more delightful. I really enjoy the Cursed House games. Hopefully they will be fun for you too! I am writing this review at 4:30 am EST, just me and my cat, as I try to keep my mind off of Hurricane Irma that is raging like crazy! I'm afraid to go to sleep, LOL. So right now this game is my good friend and distraction!

I did not read the reviews of this game until I recently finished and was surprised at what MANY of them contained.
The game play was entertaining enough and I enjoyed the numerous HOGs and finding the little cat statues. The graphics were not grainy but they were fine with their cartoonish appearance. There was no animation. The storyline seemed fine....to a certain point.
The game attracted my attention because of the cats. I wish I was smarter about this purchase to begin with. Not paying enough attention I guess. An elderly couple was supposedly killed by a bunch of common cats who evidently tore the couple to pieces and the mayor is about to execute a young boy for orchestrating the murders.
The elderly couple were seeking a youth potion and thought that various types of cat hair were a vital ingredient. So the couple are going mad and becoming very weak and still determined to restore their youthful appearance and health.
Well, not thinking the game could possibly contain anything THAT objectionable, it really took me by surprise! The old lady was trapping and killing cats to obtain the hair she needed for the potion. That just crushed me even though this is just a game. I came upon 2 cut-scenes...1 of cats in cages not knowing what lay in store for them and then a secret room with many cat skins hanging on a line across top of room.
Contrary to what so many reviews have stated...the old couple were not harmed by the cats. THEY ARE ALIVE!! and victims of the evil-minded mayor. You can find out for yourself what happened. I hope I did not spoil someone's fun....if so, I truly apologize.
I write this review because so many others are misleading. In my opinion this is not a sweet little story as others claim. It is about innocent cats being killed. There is no action in the story but pictures and suggestion are quite enough!
Big Fish should have put a warning on this game for people who are sensitive to animal issues. Yes, animal lovers are a strange bunch, aren't we, to those of you who are not? But that is really beside the point.
I don't know what recommendation to place on this game. It was entertaining for the HOGs and puzzles but, for myself, definitely not for subject matter.
But to be fair, I will give 4 stars. Decide for yourself and your younger children. I RELUCTANTLY recommend!!
Faith....

I really like this solitaire, the basic high/low, but what got my attention was the beautiful scenery. Anything oceanic greatly appeals to me and the mermaids were very pretty. Even though the visual beauty matters not to the actual game play, I find it very lovely and different, adding to the relaxation and enjoyment of playing solitaire.
I do not like having to replay an entire level for failing to acquire 3 stars. But it is a good challenge with a little frustration thrown in. It may liven things up a little if I get too relaxed! (lol) 120 levels are always a plus and I like the choices of card backs. The demo was fun and I'm buying today for the Bonus Punch. Hope there are more quality solitaires and jigsaw puzzles coming to us. Please, Big Fish!!

I recommend this game!

OUCH ! I wear this enormous headache as a Badge of Honor which was earned by enduring just the demo. Now that I've stepped out of the box to purchase both Leaves games, I'd better get my old thinking cap out. Hopefully I will survive the shock of true gray matter stimulation. Can hardly wait to find out, after reading all the great reviews for the first one!
It seems this is our exciting escape from the world of fairytales and the supernatural, that we have fallen into. Thank you Big Fish for this refreshing, much needed break from the norm!
