World Class Solitaire Glitch

@nla8712, To address your first problem of not being able to see the full pop-up Australia square to open the game, there are 2 options available to click on green CONTINUE button for opening the solitaire card game for Sydney, Australia until the glitch in the game is corrected.

Option 1  Using the normal screen size view: Because the pop-up square for Australia is not fully visible on the normal size screen, you will have to click on the very left-most edge of the green CONTINUE button which is barely visible. Doing so does open the card game for Australia. From reading your comment, you discovered this already.

See the screen shot below which shows the very left most tip of the green CONTINUE button, although you cannot see the word CONTINUE in the view.  Also notice the orange square I added around the expanding arrows icon.  This is where to click to widen the screen for Option 2 next.

Option 2  Using the expanded size or full screen size view: If you click on the icon with expanding arrows in the upper right corner of the Normal screen view (see orange square in the screen shot above), the normal screen view will open to the expanded or full screen view. Once using this expanded view of the game screen, the Australia pop-up square and the green CONTINUE button are both fully visible. This is what you want from reading your comments.  See the screen shot below

Once the game has started you can either play using the Expanded view screen or you can return to the Normal screen size by clicking on the arrows icon (now pointing inward).  The game should not close by making the screen size smaller.

I experienced the glitch of not seeing the full Australia pop-up square using Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.  I never tried using Mozilla Firefox but I am unable to try now because I have moved on to another location in the game. 

Regarding the second problem you discussed of being returned to Easter Island when you wanted to continue to play at Australia, I have not had the unfortunate experience of that happening once I reached Australia. I was able to stay in Australia until I completed all the stars needed to finish the tour there.
