Did you know not every Klondike Solitaire game is winnable?
I recently found out that in Klondike, some deals are actually impossible to solve — even if you make all the right moves. It’s not always about skill. Sometimes the way the cards are arranged from the start just doesn’t allow a win. What’s interesting is that the win rate changes depending on the rules: 1-card draw vs 3-card draw Unlimited redeals vs limited redeals I’m curious — does anyone know the approximate win percentage under the EA version’s rules? And are all deals technically solvable, or not? Would love to hear thoughts from more experienced players.Pogo's Negative Patterns & Refusal to Listen
Today, I saw the notice that three games are being retired: A Way with Words, Anagrams, and Quinn's Aquarium. This genuinely came as a shock to me because Pogo just sunsetted a bunch of games semi-recently and because Quinn's was notoriously one of the most popular games. The elimination of games after Java obviously made sense, but with the cries of players everywhere yearning for the traditional game files to be revitalized...Pogo and EA have been extremely passive when it comes to their fanbase. Worse still and yet, perhaps most notably, the newest games are going to be similar to Solitaire Home Story, Viola's Diner, etc. which again, players have been VERY vocal in saying that these types of games are not desired. The stylization is more juvenile, the gameplay tends to be more similar to what one could get on thousands of other sites, and they are all driven by a similar building structure. Rather than getting to play at your own leisure, there are energy requirements and the focus shifts to buying in-game items. Essentially, it seems to be a desperate appeal toward younger generations and gaining more money from in-site purchases. Part of their message included the following quote: "Retiring older titles allows us to focus our efforts on building exciting new experiences and continuing to strengthen the Pogo platform for the future." However, in reading the message, the vast majority of people are constantly noting their plans to cancel memberships (if they have not already). The forums are bursting with pleas wishing for how the site and games used to be. The newer games could just as easily be retired to focus their efforts elsewhere, but they choose older games for some bizarre reason. Even then...Quinn's still had some components of a building-based game, albeit with unlimited energy and a much preferred interface for the majority of us. I cannot fathom why Pogo has to sunset it; they could even just leave it there to play infinitely instead of washing it from the site. There is no resolution to this that I myself can provide, nor anyone else on this platform, I am sure. I more so needed a place to lay out my thoughts, which I know many of you share based on some other posts. The website now holds barely 60 games, many of which are subpar & that players dislike (or may be neutral toward at best). With one game being sunsetted after another - and with such poor, glitchy, juvenile, basic games replacing them - Pogo is shifting to a site that I may no longer yearn to frequent.Poker Town - Wait Times to Play are too long
Poker Town looks like fun. However, it doesn't load and the wait is ridiculous, to have a notice saying no players. Where are the BOTS? I don't want to play with people - I simply want to enjoy the game, NOT CHAT! Won't let my grandkids play with people either. Is this going to be fixed?Solitaire - Tips for a new player?
Hey everyone 👋 This is my first post here, so please go easy on me 😄 I just wanted to talk about Solitaire for a bit. I’ve been playing it regularly lately, and it’s honestly one of those games that looks simple but gets surprisingly strategic the more you play. Sometimes I win in a few minutes, and other times I get completely stuck even though I thought I was playing smart. Do you guys have any small tips that actually made a big difference in your win rate? Like move order, when to draw from the stock, or how long to hold certain cards? Would love to hear how others approach it!How Do You Recover from a “Stuck” FreeCell Position?
Hi everyone! I am looking for the answer of this general question of FreeCell Solitaire Game. Sometimes I reach a point where no obvious moves are left in my FreeCell game. Do I restart immediately, undo several moves, or try rearranging columns differently? There are some questions that comes in my mind every time in this situation. Interested to know your recovery tactics regarding this position.Can't use Gems

Hi All, I've been Playing Mahjong Sanctuary for awhile and have really enjoyed playing it......until the game was updated to an "easier" format. Your moves are now highlighted. Why? An easier format is like cheating. I like to play and if I lose, i'l just start again. Please, Please, put it back to the way it was. I now have been playing Mahjong Garden instead. Great game, I just like Mahjong Sanctuary better.
Improving at FreeCell – Tips for Managing Free Cells Better?
Hi everyone 👋 New here and happy to join the forum. I’ve been playing FreeCell for a while and really enjoy the strategy side of it. Lately I’ve been trying to improve my win rate on tougher deals, especially the ones where the tableau gets crowded early. One thing I’m still figuring out is how you all decide when to use a free cell early vs. saving it for later. Sometimes using one quickly helps me open columns, but other times it feels like it blocks future moves. Would love to hear how experienced players think about managing free cells and empty columns in harder games. Any simple tips or mindset shifts that helped you improve?
