People Also Played Summary From the company who made the popular and successful Solitaire Arena and Solitaire Knockout, Solitaire Live is another solitaire multiplayer game on their long list of solitaire games that allows you to pit the solitaire skills you’ve cultivated over the years against another player in real time! Enjoy playing 1-on-1 matches or participate in tournaments with up to 3 other players and see who the best solitaire player is. There are also boosters that you can use both for free, like undo, and also at a price, like the magic wand booster. Do you think you have what it takes to top the leaderboard in this fast-paced and challenging real-time solitaire game? Well, let’s find out by playing Solitaire Live, shall we? Gameplay Interestingly, the game starts off by asking whether you’ll be playing the game anonymously or you can share your Facebook info and play as yourself.

Log into Facebook to start sharing and connecting with your friends, family, and people you know.

This is rather unusual since most games do not give you this option. It’s a really nice touch, especially for those people who are shy online.

Once you’re in the game, Solitaire Live will guide you through 1 round of 1-on-1 match as well as a tournament to let you get a feel for the game and also learn the basic features of the game. As mentioned, there are 2 game modes in Solitaire Live - 1-on-1 matches and knockout tournaments. You can play 1-on-1 matches for any many times as you like per day and this is a great way to get a few games of solitaire in while you have some downtime between work assignments or even when you’re doing some important business in the loo. For knockout tournaments, they will take up a bit more of your time as you’ll be competing with 3 other players in a dynamic real time event. In every round, the player in the last place will be instantly knocked out from the tournament, thus as long as you stay in the lead and you’ll be fine! To win the tournament and snag the grand prize though, you’ll need to get to the last round and defeat the last remaining opponent. Tournaments cannot be played consecutively since you’ll need to wait for its 12-minute cooldown period to expire before you can play in a tournament again.

In either 1-on-1 or tournaments, you’ll be playing a match against another player in real time, meaning that you can see your opponents’ foundation cards in real time and he can see yours. You and your opponent will also have the same shuffle. This means that both you and your opponent will get the same cards in the same order.

To play, you’ll need to move your cards to your top foundations, starting with aces. Every card you managed to move to the foundation will nett you 1 score point. You will score an extra point if you send the same card before your opponent.

Thus, speed is the key to winning the game! Thankfully, the game provides a nifty auto-end button that when activated, will allow you send cards automatically to foundation. Do take note that once a card is sent to the foundation, you will not be able to retrieve it from the foundation. You can deactivate the function at any time though if you like, but I find the button immensely useful most of the time. There are plenty of other cards that remain face-down in the game. To unlock these cards, you’ll need to stack up existing face-up cards in descending order and alternating colors. This means that if you have a Queen of Hearts, you can only place a Jack of Spades or Clubs and so on and so forth.

If you ran out of valid moves or are stuck, you can choose to end the game and wait for your opponent to end his game too in order to get your results. You can also use any of the various boosters available in the game. There’s a hint option that will show you if you have a match that you’ve missed while there’s also an undo button, which you can use for unlimited number of times throughout the game, to reverse a previous action.

With the cost-free undo, you’ll never worry about a mistake again! Besides hints and undos, you are also given some free magic wands. You can use these to magically unlock a face-down card that is ready to be used. Magic wands cost real cash though, but you’ll be able to obtain 1 free magic wand per day from the extras section of the game. Metal slug neo geo rom. Being as competitive as you are, you mustn’t forget to compare the number of tournaments that you’ve won on the various weekly leaderboards, namely friends, national and global, to see how well you are doing! Community Although Solitaire Live is a pretty recently released game, the community in the game is pretty strong (for a niche game that is).

The game has around 20 thousand players online at peak hours, so you’ll never need to wait too long for the game to find you an opponent to play solitaire with. The game itself also has around 75 thousand likes on its Facebook fan page. Which is, honestly, no small feat for a solitaire game, even a competitive one at that! Graphics/ Sound Solitaire Live is a very simple and plain-looking solitaire game and hence, you are not provided with much customization options, such as for the patterns on your cards or for the background. Every piece of image in the game works its role well in the game and that’s what matters in this game. The game does not contain any music or sound, besides the occasional sound effects. Conclusion In summary, Solitaire Live is an exciting and competitive solitaire game whereby you’ll be playing against other human players in real-time in various 1-on-1 matches and even elimination-based tournaments.

Earn as many points as you can to stay in the lead and you’ll not be knocked out from the tournaments. If you’re good enough, you might even stand a chance to earn the grand prize.

The game also offers various helpful boosters, such as undo, hint and magic wand, that will be able to help you if you need that extra something to defeat your opponent. So, are you up to the challenge?

Expanding its reach into social casino games, RockYou has acquired two solitaire apps from MavenHut for an undisclosed price. The acquisition of Solitaire Arena and Solitaire 3 Arena is part of RockYou’s ongoing bid to profitably operate games that other companies have decided to unload.

RockYou is finding ways to operate games that others have left for dead, and that is turning into an interesting path for survival in the cutthroat social and mobile games business. With this strategy of operating older games more profitably than others can do so, RockYou has become one of the most active acquirers of gaming content.

Lisa Marino, chief executive of San Francisco-based RockYou, said in an interview with GamesBeat that the deal expands her company’s reach into social casino offerings and expands RockYou’s daily active users by more than 2 million players. Marino said these will live on and continue to engage people for years to come. Worldwide, RockYou reaches more than 80 million consumers on mobile, Facebook, and the Web. It monetizes those users through ads.

“This doubles our daily active reach in the U.S.,” Marino said. “We are excited about what we can do. We love casual casino games and this fits squarely in that space.”

In both games, people can challenge others in multiplayer solitaire matches. While that sounds strange, a big community has grown up around social solitaire. The games were attractive because they had English-speaking players, high retention rates, and low requirements for additional content production. Since the games are social, the community around them generates the ongoing interest in the experiences. While the solitaire games are not the same games you would find in an actual casino, they do offer a casino-like flair and competitive fun for the players.

Both are available on iOS, Android, and Facebook, and they will help RockYou amass an even greater audience for its advertising platform. RockYou can profitably operate older games with smaller staffs while showing ads to the loyal user bases. The company started with a big audience on Facebook’s desktop version, but it has been expanding into mobile devices.

In May, RockYou also acquired the mobile ad network Playhaven, which serves ads in 18,000 games. It also appointed Sean Crawford, who oversaw Adap.tv’s programmatic mobile video business, as RockYou’s chief media officer.

Marino said that MavenHut’s owners decided to move on.

“It’s time for them to monetize and move on,” Marino said.

Social casino games aren’t as hot as they were a few years ago, when excitement around Zynga Poker and the marriage with real-money online gambling seemed to fuel a startup and acquisition frenzy. The enthusiasm for online gambling slowed, and only a handful of social casino games garnered huge audiences.

“It was a very hot category, but only a couple of them really worked well,” Marino said. “The smaller companies can’t afford to spend on user acquisition. We’ve been one of the consolidators in this market.”

MavenHut is an Irish gaming company with development studios in Bucharest, Romania. It first launched Solitaire Arena on Facebook in November 2012.

“We love our Solitaire Arena players and the success these games have had in such a short time,” said MavenHut CEO Bobby Voicu, in a statement. “We knew that our Solitaire community will be greatly cared for as we transition our focus on developing new titles. We want these classics to live on, and RockYou is enabling us to do just that.”
