Games! Two New on Kindle and a Bargain Download

There are two new games for the Kindle this week, both at bargain prices. The first, of course, is Solitaire (is any device or computing platform that allows development of games without at least one version of Solitaire?), while the second is a brand-new strategy game that is exclusive to the Kindle. For those playing games on their PC or netbook, Amazon has a bargain price on a game download, as well (and my Mom has probably already bought it, as she was playing it earlier this morning when I checked in).

EA Solitaire (12 Card Games to Play on Kindle) ($3.99), by Electronic Arts Inc.

Game Description
Play Solitaire, on Kindle - anytime, anywhere.

EA Solitaire contains 12 different modes of play--the Klondike game you know and love, as well as 11 other variants: Pyramid, Yukon, Golf, Freecell, Wasp, Peaks, Canfield, Spiderette, Eliminator, Easthaven, and Baker's Dozen. It's a lot of card-game fun for both experts and novices alike.

This version of Solitaire comes with handy features such as a "Tutorial Mode" that will get you started on the different game play variants, optional in-game "Tips" as well as an "Auto-Move" feature that will help you out when you're stuck and don't know what to do next. For the Klondike game, there is even a "Vegas" mode to track your winnings in (virtual) dollars.

Enjoy the card game you know and love on Kindle.

Triple Town (A Puzzle Strategy Game for Kindle) ($2.99), by Spry Fox

Game Description
Triple Town is an original strategy game in which you try to grow the greatest possible city. The larger the city you build, the more points you score. You build your city by matching three or more game-pieces: combine three grasses to make a flower, three flowers to make a bush, three bushes to make a tree... until you've filled the board with houses, cathedrals and castles. Along the way, you'll have to outwit evil barbarians and wizards who will try to block your progress.

This is a game that can be played for minutes or hours at a time. You'll have to think several turns ahead if you want to avoid inevitable gridlock as unfinished buildings, barbarians and wizards start to pile up. And sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll be helped along by a magical crystal (which combines with anything) or a powerful bomb (which wipes nuisances off the board). But luck won't save you forever!

How large can you grow your dream city before the board fills and the game ends?
