Based on the demo, as I'm still on the fence with this one. Interesting take on the solitaire genre. Decent amount of challenge and mini games throughout. The one down spot is that I couldn't find how to skip the mahjong mini games on every level. Apparently this level must be played to progress through the story. I DO NOT like mahjong in any way shape or form...I mean, I REALLY don't like mahjong...and being forced to play the mini game in order to progress, is a real bummer, and worthy of losing a star. If there were a way to just skip it without penalty , this would probably be a 5 star. (Hopefully, I'm just missing the go-around for this)
I recommend this game!

This is a fun little time waster edition of the road trip hogs. Clear and easy to see with several difficulty levels to choose from.
I liked the little music loop, pretty catchy little tune! Word of warning though, if you get to the end of the location and have not found all the coins, you will be doomed to repeat the ENTIRE location, including all mini games, to find the missing coin. Only happened once......made sure to pay attention to all the other locations! Great little game.
I recommend this game!

This is a wonderful mosaic game. Colors are bright and offers a variety of styles. I like the penguins too, but can finish them up pretty quickly. This one, however, seems to go on and on! Yay! Multi color wheel and hints available with no penalty. Very lovely, relaxing game with an incredibly beautiful soundtrack. Highly recommend.
I recommend this game!

Same basic idea as devs other games with a few added differences (as well as bonus games), to keep it interesting! I thought this was a good game with replayability. Nice graphics and appropriate music.
I have all in the series, and will look forward to the next one!
I recommend this game!

Nice change from the usual mosaic games. Music is wonderfully relaxing. Colors are vibrant and has the addition of an iridescent color tile. Very pretty. It took a minute to get accustomed to the horizontal and vertical markers, as well as the automatic graying of the unused tiles, but overall, a beautiful game.
I recommend this game!

The penguins are back, and furnishing their forest! Some new beautiful colors this time. Still don't have the 'hammer' option for Mac users, but it's rare to get stuck, as these puzzles are logically solvable. Love this series of mosaics. I have all of them and replay regularly. Keep 'em coming!!
I recommend this game!

This is just based on several minutes with the demo, so maybe there are some redeeming qualities further along in the game. Perhaps the penguins have just spoiled me, but the overall feel of this game seems rather basic and flat. Definitely try this one before you buy. I'm sure some people will just love it, but this one, unfortunately, is not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Love these mosaics! Always such a treat to see a new one released. Relaxing game play and lovely sound and colors. Only thing I would improve upon is creating more than just the 20 levels available. Maybe 25 or 50?? :) Already looking forward to Mosaics 22!
I recommend this game!

Relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable! There are also 6 garden grids available! I have 4 done to 100%. Game play can just go on and on while you build all your gardens. This is my go to game that stays open on my dock all the time. I wish they would make Queen's Garden Christmas edition!
