BadBumble's 'Solitaire Siege' is Free Today

BadBumble has dropped the price of their game Solitaire Siege to free for today (Sept 29th) only. The price drop is in celebration of the developer's 2nd wedding anniversary. The game is a clever take on Pyramid Solitaire that we've enjoyed, and today's sale has certainly brought it again to our attention.
The main gameplay of Solitaire Siege surrounds a siege mode where you must take out the enemy forces represented by cards. The game uses a standard 52 card deck and plays like Pyramid. You can only remove cards that are either one higher or one lower than the exposed card. If there are no cards available, you need to draw from the deck. In siege mode, you have to be sure you don't actually have a move before drawing from the deck or your army will take damage. The goal is to remove all the cards (enemy forces).
The game mixes up play with the use of special power-up cards that must be used correctly in order to complete the levels. Overall, a nice game that's certainly worth trying.

Hey thanks, picking up quality for free is a nice start to a cold morning:)
BTW Arn, I'm all about supporting the sponsors, any way though on the main ad for Dexter you can remove the face graphics that aren't usu. visible Anyway? It's making my poor old 3G chug along
i won't even take this for free…
Will you?
Then why waste your time typing about it on a desolate Internet site at
the wee hours of the morning..:D
actually, I was tempted to BUY this one, so I obviously took it for free.
it's still today yet it ain't free anymore. and not worth 99c obviously.
Uhm, of course i'll take a free app! It's free! Besides, solitaire is fun, it's great for killing time.

PS, be nice
TA advertised this game on their site before this news post. Apparently that wasn't enough and this game's publisher need to hand it out for a day to get more attention.
In Pyramid, cards are removed in pairs that total 13. From the description, it sounds like it plays more like Golf Solitaire.
Actually, i don't understand how dis game suppose to be played. I only play normal solitaire. But, it looks kind of fun and it's free! I'm willing to learn ..hehe!
Actually I picked this game up when it came out and really enjoy it. Yes, it's just a version of Pyramid (or Golf as stated), but it has a few fun bits thrown in. The graphics are a little weak, but if you enjoy solitaire games and want to see something a little different done with them… this game is good for a few hours of play.
Easily worth a look at the "free" price. I haven't been upset for the time I've had it at the "paid" price.

This is definitely worth downloading if you haven't yet. I got it when I saw it went to free and haven't been disappointed – good bathroom fun
