Reviewed by: CNET Staff
With more game options than a Vegas card room and plenty of help files through which to shuffle, this free program is a must-have for solitaire card sharks. Installation is fast, safe, and nag-screen free. A main menu lets you easily scroll through the 12 game options. Each game is rated in terms of difficulty and skill level, and even outlines how many decks are used and your chances of actually winning the game. Time played and game score is kept in the upper right-hand corner of the main game screen. One of the best features (aside from its great list of games, of course) of 123 Free Solitaire 2006 is its detailed help files. Clearly written, each file outlines how to play the game and even gives definitions of words that might be unfamiliar. We especially like the occasional "strategy" hint link, which gives you a secret clue to playing a game better. Cards scrape and slap on the desktop "table," yet if you're sneaking a game at work, the sound can be muted. You also can customize the card design and tabletop to your liking--choices for cards include cartoon snowmen to Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, while bold background patterns or colors can be swapped whenever you choose. While game statistics and redo/undo are features only available in the developer's paid version, they're not critical items. Overall, 123 Free Solitaire 2006 should be a welcome diversion for card sharks and newbies alike--now if we could only quit playing and get back to work.Publisher's description

Version: 123 Free Solitaire 2008 6
Pros: The game works with no glitches and allows user to play various games of Solitaire.
Cons: Unlike the built into Windows Solitaire game, this one has graphics that is hard on eyes, especially when one moves cards quickly. It's hard to distinguish instantly cards with the androgenic faces. In addition, there is no undo function in this game
Summary: I would still prefer the built into Windows Spider Solitaire over this one any day because of the much better graphics and the undo function.

Summary: So, So.

"Have to purchase to get full functionality."
Pros: I like the variety of game selections.
Cons: Gives just enough functionality to tease one into buying full featured version.
Summary: There are better free solitaire packages out there such as BigSol3D 1.4 which has a nice selection of games and more functionality.

"there simply are better games of this kind available"
Pros: very good graphics
Cons: no competition for SolSuite
Summary: I don't dislike it at all, but it just does not compare with Solsuite.
