------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
Klondike and FreeCell Solitaire are great games when all you have is a deck of cards, but you have more than that, you have the computer phone of the future! Our phone screens aren't the size of a table (yet), so why do we have to play solitaire games designed for tables?
Isn't it time we had a solitaire game where the cards were big enough to see and easily touch? Shouldn't there be a solitaire game light enough to play casually, yet deep enough for swapping strategies with friends?
At least that's what I think.
I hope you enjoy Sage Solitaire.

Flawed but fun
msu1981
The developer would like to write off the continuous duplication of a like card under another as frequency illusion. That's just a lazy way of denying that your algorithm for placing cards is flawed. I wrote down the frequency - it's real, not an illusion. I suggest the developer instead Google proper randomization routines. The deck is not rigged, as like the developer said, why would he do that. But he should at least admit his app is flawed in its execution.
Pretty good, room for improvements

I do enjoy this game, it's one of my favorite time wasting and non-stressful games. There is an identical game on the Google play store that I like slightly better due to some of the game mechanics. Like being able to play cards from the same row, being able to have two pairs, and things like that. I also would prefer having a landscape option, but that's not a major complaint for me. I sincerely hope these things will be considered, but we shall see. Over all it's a pretty nice game.
Bad Clone

This game is a clone of another popular card game. A shameless rip off down to the score values behind each stack of cards.
Not giving me all my points

We love this game, but are frustrated that with some hands, we don't get the points. What's up with that? Would love to get it fixed. It's a great game.
Pretty good

This is a good game. You'll never make money in Vegas mode, so that mode is pointless. This game can be improved.
It's just okay, it has potential.

It's not a phenomenal game (at least the free version isn't, I haven't seen anything from the free version to make me willing to pay for more). I gave 2 stars because overall the game just does not capture my attention. It's difficult to win, when trashing cards it gives you a card of the same value plus the rule of having to have cards in separate rows to create a hand makes it impossible to actually win a hand; there is nothing to suggest that if I pay that these 2 things can be changed or that they will go away. Otherwise it seems like it might be fun. It has a lot of potential, I just can't see me playing it often since currently I have no chance of winning at it. I'll keep it for when I want something different.
Just "that much" too hard

The sweet spot for a game is when you win just enough to make you think you can clean up on the next game. It's how slot machines take your money. This game doesn't have that. The game play is great and engaging, but except for a few savants out there, the rest of us really never stand a chance. And "Vegas Mode"? Forget it! This game is good for a few minutes at a time, but knowing you just can't ever beat it means it's easy to quit and move on.
