Was hesitant to buy the first installment of this game but glad I did since I know how to play this one which is a suggestion for those giving negative reviews. Granted you may have to play a level over but that's where the fun is - a challenge.
We're back to finding dad again and game play is like previous - gather resources, build buildings to accumulate same. Since I know how to play this now am thoroughly enjoying it. Keeping an eye on what I'm doing and am progressing great (but still have to play a level or two over). Music is light and not the least intrusive to game play like a lot of games, instructions are clear and if you keep an eye on what you're doing you should get your stars. I always play a new game in casual so that doesn't bother me but for the die hards it's a must.
So try it and for those liking a challenge but not to the point of hair pulling you should enjoy it. PLUS a nice change from these horrible doom, gloom, hideous faces and creepy crawly's like we get these days; wish they would come up with more fun games.
I recommend this game!

Bought the original since I was running out of time to fill my punch card for a free game and glad I did and was happy to see another one. Not sure why this would be a CE but got it in a CE sale and am enjoying it as much as the first. Instructions and goals are easy to follow, you do have to pay attention - had to start over a few times - but overall it's an easy and enjoyable game. Love the little people running around and the music is pleasant and not intrusive (like some).
So if you want a fairly easy game with a break from the doom, gloom, hideous creatures and ugly faces we're getting these days take the plunge.
I recommend this game!

I'm not sure what the purpose of this game is other than solitaire. The music and scenes are very soothing which makes a nice break from the usual doom, gloom, hideous creatures and ugly faces these days but other than that don't see what the end result is supposed to be.
Not going to recommend or not recommend since every taste is different but if still available play the demo first before purchasing.

This is so fun! Normally I'm not a fan of match 3 but purchased this because of the Halloween theme. Idea is to accumulate gold to fix up a haunted house. Music is appropriate to the game and not the least distracting from the game play (like some is) and so far not the least hard to play. Always play casual until I get onto a game and once I finish will replay in timed. If you want a fun alternative to the latest offerings of nothing but doom, gloom and hideous faces and creatures this is for you.
I recommend this game!

Just OK - haven't completed the game but haven't a clue what the purpose of it is. Music is nice but other than that a rather dull match three - power ups help but are rather pricey and accumulation of coins is slow.
So maybe something to do when bored with doom, gloom and hideous faces which seems to be the norm on BFG these days. Really wish they'd come up with something fun!
I don't recommend this game.

Have to admit I bought this to fill in my punch card to earn a free game and am thoroughly enjoying it! It's not the least difficult, I enjoy the little figures running around accomplishing tasks and one of the best features it's a long game - we fishies do like our money's worth!
So if you want a time management that's not the least challenging, easy and gives you a break from doom, gloom and mind binders this is recommended!
I recommend this game!

Have to agree with other reviewers this is really another Laruaville with the same goals and game play. One advantage tho if you own the Laruaville games it's to your advantage since you'll know how to play this game.
Have to admit I did enjoy the "haunted house" music which doesn't distract from the game and this is a game I go back to periodically when I need a no brain-drain game. Characters are well drawn and if you know what you're doing you can progress rapidly.
I recommend this game!

Characters were grotesque and their stupid vocalizations drove me nuts.
No thanks to these type of games.
I don't recommend this game.

Definitely a challenge! Have numerous solitaire games and pride myself on being a pro but this is challenging and in the first section have had to replay levels which is a bruise to the ego but that's what makes games fun. It's the usual one up-one down solitaire with some mini games (not my favorites) which can be skipped and each level has a certain amount of cards with ball icons that have to be cleared to win the level.
Finally a decent solitaire game which poses a challenge and fun to play.
I recommend this game!

I love solitaire games and so far am enjoying this one. Imagine it will get more challenging as the game goes on but for now there's really not much to do. You have to clear the cards with either shells or starfish to win the level and as you progress each level requires more required cards. Otherwise just solitaire as usual. Nothing to build, HOS, etc. like other solitaire games coming out.
Good game if you just want relaxation and no real challenge.
I recommend this game!
