A wholehearted, unqualified recommendation here. Dungeon Solitaire is a brilliant game that works on the toilet, in bed, on the sofa, at your desk and sitting outside the TK Maxx changing rooms while your wife tries on swimsuits.

Spend two minutes going through the tutorial and this screen will make sense.

It may look like a collectible card battling game, but it’s very much not. The clue’s in the title. It’s a solitaire game. It’s got its own deck and its own rules, but it’s all about turning over cards and trying to win. There’s more scope for tactics than traditional solitaire games and it’s got a very robust set of rules that sound immensely complicated on paper, but which are made very clear by a quick tutorial.

You can add to the game by buying cards to add to your deck as DLC, but there’s no need to do so. The main deck is good enough to stand up to repeated play.

The interface may lack polish, but the game itself is fantastic.

There are also OpenFeint leaderboards and a good list of achievements and overall this is a very, very good solitaire game. It being a card game, there will of course be times where you can’t win, but that’s common to all these games and no reason to steer clear. I really do urge you to take a chance and spend £1.19 on this game, because I honestly don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
