Hi again PCHGamers!
I’m BACK on the Play&Win blog, and this time, I’m laying it all out. That’s right, I’m showing you our hand and giving you a full house of hints, tricks and tips for the best PCHGames Card Games! (You could say I’m pretty flush with puns as well!)
So enough playing the joker; let’s cut right to it!
First up…52 Card Pickup!
- Pick one direction to play (ascending or descending) and go with it. You may hit a gap of cards late in the game if you find yourself bouncing between just a few numbers.
- Whenever possible, play from the top of the pile. The more you see of a card, the more it blocks the cards below.
- Use the “TAKE SCORE” button in the lower left corner if you’re stumped. Mis-clicks will cost you points!
Next up…Addiction Solitaire!
- At the beginning of the game, when you’re setting your 2’s, look a few moves ahead to see what space that clears up.
- If you have a moveable “orange” card to the left of an empty space, always fill the space first. If you play the left card, you may miss the opportunity to move a card to the right at all!
- Your remaining time adds a bonus to your total score. If you’ve got a few moves left before a re-shuffle, and you know they don’t score any points, why not shuffle early? That’ll put you back in the action and save a few precious seconds.
- Nothing can be played directly to the right of a King. Wait on moving “orange” cards from this spot to see if you can move the King first.
And let’s not forget about Bridge!
- Bridge is a game where you play one card per round, and between you and your partner, you attempt to have the highest card. When you win a round, you get to play first. Careful attention to what your opponent has played can keep control in your hands.
- Keep the bidding low! If your partner (the person across from you) is the highest bidder, just pass. There’s no reason to get in a bidding war with your own teammate!
- If you know you can’t win the round, play the lowest card you have. No reason to waste a face card when you can get rid of a 2!
And my last card game for today’s blog, Crescent Solitaire!
- If you have to choose between 2 identical cards to move to the center pile, check the card underneath each one. Simply click and move the card like you’re going to move it, but then release the card over the blue play area to have it snap back in place. You can also do this before you move cards among the outer piles.
- If possible, try to build onto each stack of each suit evenly. This will prevent you from being ‘locked in’ to looking for only one card per suit.
- The Reshuffle button only shuffles the cards per each outer pile. If you’ve got an outer pile with only 1 card left, it won’t look like it has shuffled at all.
As always, I hope these tricks, tips, and hints help you earn more tokens at PCHgames! Are any of these card games your favorite to play? Let us know in the comments, along with your favorite play strategies!
Good luck and happy gaming!
