Jewel Quest Solitaire by I Win games is a mixture of the popular Jewel Quest franchise and a version of Solitaire that is much like playing mahjongg with playing cards.

While that does capitalize on two types of play instead of just one, I didn’t particularly care for the two tied together. I would rather play one or the other, not bounce back and forth between the two. They do give you the option to play with all the “game-enhancing storyline” - although I kind of liked that part. You are following the storyline of an adventurer through his journals, as narrated by his nephew.

It was a short download considering the decent level of graphics. Again, with most games now you can choose to minimize either the background music or the sound effects.

Overall, I would prefer to play either Jewel Quest or Solitaire, and didn’t care for the marriage of the two. It may well appeal to someone else though, so this one is worth a try.

I’d give this one a 3 out of a possible 5, but recommend that anyone who is a big fan of the Solitaire games give this a try as a nice variation. You can play an trial version of Jewel Quest Solitaire through Arcade Town or you can purchase and download the full version.
