Algerijns Patience

Step right up, folks, because here we go with my quick hit on Algerijns Patience brought to you by Play123! The game, which really tests your patience by giving players two full decks of cards to order them but in a very particular way, can get pretty goes-for-your-throat on occasion. And it’s not for the faint of heart — or those with time constraints. I can’t quite explain why — maybe it was the tingling stimulation of being a strategist deciding where each move would take the game, trying to stack the first deck per suit from Ace to King and the last deck in the reverse order — but it tickled my brain just right.

Feedback from other players confirmed my confusion, with some noting that clearer instruction would help and others wondering why cards were suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Even with these hiccups, the core of sharpening your mind while playing the game shines bright. So for sure above all the learning and having fun with the process, even if you are like scratchy head sometimes.

For solitaires brigade who enjoy the mental gymnastics of such games, Algerijns Patience is a breath of fresh air. If you like challenges like this, you could also try Spider Solitaire. Not every aspect of the game was crystallised from the word go, but there is no denial that sense of achievement in making the strategic moves. Note: All games have their quirks, and it appears this game is no different. To repeat myself yet again, Algerijns Patience is a great choice if you’re ready to demonstrate some real mental adaptability.
