Astraware Solitaire is a premier example of this with a selection of 12 great card games chosen from customer feedback.” Adding, “The game has been incredibly popular for Palm OS and Windows Mobile smartphones, and so we’re very pleased to extend Astraware’s support to the many millions of S60 and UIQ devices worldwide.”

Astraware Solitaire also features 12 of the most favourite single player card games including Klondike, Pyramid, Spider, and Freecell. Also, it has the option to customize the game to bring back the familiarity in the games and also since smartphones are personal properties most of the time; the option also enables customizing the game! One can customize backgrounds, color themes, cardbacks and give them attractive looks.
One of the most important highlights is that apart from including ‘familiar traditional set with beautiful face cards’ there is a clear card face option as well. The feature has been added for people with visual impairments and to keep it simple while playing it in broad day light.
Another feature is the game statistics that tells the player how long has she/he been playing and the times she/he has won. There is one more bonus added to the game and a bonus in the real sense of the term – there is a ‘fun trophy system’ which reveals extra card graphics and ‘the highly sought-after Golden Trophy Deck of cards’. If the player has collected them all, they can also be used in the game.
The game claims to be a ‘perfect pastime for everyone’s smartphone’ with ‘12 highly-absorbing, traditional card games’.
