Community Insight:
Sadly gets stuck on ad pages and refuses to close unless everything is cleared.
This is our most favorite game. BUT, iPad just notified us that future IOS updates will no longer support it. Please update.
Great game, love the music, we love Christmas so we play this version year round.
We love this game,,it's a little hard to win but when you do the music is so fun to listen to we love winning just to hear the win music.
We are hooked, absolutely love it! Will be playing clear thru til next year.
We absolutely love this game, and it is well after Christmas! It is easy to play, cute artwork, and we especially LOVE the snowflakes and bells! We would have totally paid for this.
We love it. We are obsessed. We really like the sounds and graphics. We are an adult so we appreciate the level of difficulty.
Game is fun – cute graphics – we just wish it had an option for one card draw.
Cute graphics and sounds. Kids love to play it but get frustrated because it takes so long to win. Much like solitaire with real cards.
The game is programmed so you rarely win !! We love the graphics !! Hate playing for an hour before winning.
This is a really cute game, but we loaded it for our niece who loves to play Solitaire and it took us almost twenty games before we finally got a win!! This is a game for children, we think they should win more often! We also had our 26 year old son play and he quit after he lost 12 in a row!! If the children win more often they would be more willing to play. Just a thought.
