The free version of Sage Solitaire deals out Single Deck, Insta-Tournament, and Vegas Modes. A single in-app purchase kills ads, and unlocks more modes, wallpapers, and themes that pair nicely with any situation you might be in.

"No doubt about it: If you liked Threes you're gonna enjoy Sage Solitaire." - Asher Vollmer, creator of Threes "I can’t stop playing" - The Verge "Might be one of the best designed games of the year" -FastCompany "Already taking over where my Threes addiction left off..." ProductHunt "A great take on solitaire" - SlideToPlay ------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER Klondike and FreeCell Solitaire are great games when all you have is a deck of cards, but you have more than that, you have the computer phone of the future! Our phone screens aren't the size of a table (yet), so why do we have to play solitaire games designed for tables? Isn't it time we had a solitaire game where the cards were big enough to see and easily touch? Shouldn't there be a solitaire game light enough to play casually, yet deep enough for swapping strategies with friends? At least that's what I think. I hope you enjoy Sage Solitaire. -zach ------FULL GAME FEATURE LIST - Six Different Modes (Insta, Single, Double, Vegas, Grit, and Fifteens) - 48 Achievements - Tons of GameCenter Leaderboards - In-Depth Statistics tracking synced across devices through iCloud - Loads of Wallpapers and Card Backs - Night Mode (easy on your eyes for playing in the dark) Information Seller:Zach Gage Genre:Card, Family Release:Aug 26, 2015 Updated:Nov 04, 2020 Version:2.1.2 Size:147.0 MB TouchArcade Rating: User Rating: (27) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal stfj Well-Known Member Sep 18, 2009 227 39 28 Male #2 stfj, Aug 27, 2015 vectorarchitekt - you beat me to it! - Here's a direct link.

Dude, SS is THE card game I have been looking for for years. It's great! Multiple modes, great visual options. Great work as always. You've done for card games what you did for word games.

Guise Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2009 2,027 14 38 #5 Guise, Aug 27, 2015 Nice!! Downloaded and bought, instantly. Hopefully a moderator (or someone with skills) can create a full-fledged thread soon. TheGodless Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2013 207 2 18 #6 TheGodless, Aug 27, 2015 Downloaded and (also) bought instantly. Super fun and addictive spin on solitaire. My only issues are that I wish it had achievements and I'm not sure I understand the point of having to make a set from two different rows. Is there a reason to that? It seems a bit arbitrary and is kind of frustrating when you have a great set that you can't use just because of the cards are in the same row. Guise Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2009 2,027 14 38 #7 Guise, Aug 27, 2015 So good. As mentioned, Sage is to card games what SpellTower is to word games. Excellent elemental elegance. rezn Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Mar 8, 2014 862 6 18 Male Coder/Keyer in medical ICD 10 Reno, NV #8 rezn, Aug 27, 2015 I saw a relation to Spell Tower and it's nice to see a free game with IAP for full game unlock. Which usually tend to be games that I buy to unlock. So many great games tonight! I might have to call in tomorrow. Lol pluto6 Well-Known Member Jun 21, 2009 5,837 3 38 Military #9 pluto6, Aug 27, 2015 Fun solitaire game. Purchased. idaveharris Well-Known Member Feb 13, 2013 91 0 0 #10 idaveharris, Aug 27, 2015 Love this and instantly bought the full version. So much polish in this game. One thing though what's with the ugly black border around the app icon? Maybe keep it clean and flat like iOS and remove the black border? Please add GC achievements too please. Don't get me wrong though. The game itself is beautifully crafted! L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #11 L.Lawliet, Aug 27, 2015 This is really fun! Solitaire + Poker is a win. I'd love to see custom decks / designs. Btw, game doesn't run on my ios 6 device, it stays on the main logo and never passes it. Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #12 Misguided, Aug 27, 2015 Delightfully simple yet engaging, with more strategy than you might expect from a solitaire card game. Quick to play with "just one more" draw. Another Zach Gage insta-classic. L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #13 L.Lawliet, Aug 27, 2015 Really really enjoying this one. Though the dark mode is not very easy on the eyes. There's too much fancy art on the background it makes everything seem a bit messy. Amazing game though. Great for when you only have a small amount of free time to play or you're just bored. Sash-O Well-Known Member Feb 13, 2015 1,570 0 0 Germany #14 Sash-O, Aug 27, 2015 Downloading now! Is there any chance that we see an update/or new release for Unify? Waiting for four years now...one of my favorite games ever. vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #15 vectorarchitekt, Aug 27, 2015 Probably because I am not well versed in poker, but why isn't King Ace two a 3-card straight but Ace two three is? L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #16 L.Lawliet, Aug 27, 2015 I'm no expert but I think Ace is basically the beginning and end of the set. So can't "wrap it around" with a 2. If that makes sense? Or maybe I'm totally off. BrettArchibald Well-Known Member Jul 17, 2008 1,436 18 38 Male Self-employed interactive designer. Formerly Zimbabwe - now England. http://www.LonelyMachine.com #17 BrettArchibald, Aug 27, 2015 Just downloaded the game. Really enjoying it so far. I'm not sure what the other two modes are all about though? Double Deck and Fifteens Mode. Can anyone elaborate on how these two modes work? Thanks. vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #18 vectorarchitekt, Aug 27, 2015 Double deck is basically just double the cards I think and fifteens is a mode where you can also add any cards up to 15 in addition to the poker suits. stfj Well-Known Member Sep 18, 2009 227 39 28 Male #19 stfj, Aug 27, 2015 Thanks so much for checking it out everyone! It means a lot to hear that you're all enjoying Sage ! TheGodless - The row rule is in there to encourage greater strategy. I know it can seem arbitrary or frustrating at times, but hopefully that turns into the good kind of frustration where you try to get around the limitation BrettArchibald - as vectorarchitekt said, Double Deck is twice the size and Fifteens adds another hand (the Fifteen - anything that adds up to 15). Even though those sound like pretty small changes, they change the gameplay pretty substantially. Carter checked them out when he was streaming if you want to see what they look like in practice - http://www.mobcrush.com/TouchArcade/v/55d385b155b90f87e07874da bacon-N-eggs Well-Known Member Mar 17, 2012 265 4 18 #20 bacon-N-eggs, Aug 27, 2015 Last edited: Aug 27, 2015 So good, I had to buy the "full game" to support the dev plus the extra modes are well worth it! Also like the extra backrounds and card backs. After running through 20-30 games in total now throughout the modes, I learned to really get you scores up there you will need to pay attention to the multiplier suit and it does NOT stack! So only put one multiplier card in your cashed hand at a time if possible. Great game if you like poker, solitaire and high scoring games (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
