Jewel Quest Solitaire Trio Nintendo DS Nintendo Review

Jewel Quest Solitaire Trio takes players on a journey through the South American jungle and African deserts, with the aim of matching cards, swapping jewels and unearthing hidden secrets being the order of the day. The problem with Jewel Quest Solitaire Trio, though, is that it takes two solid concepts, mixes them together, and somehow comes out with a highly watered-down end product. There may well be the inclusion of ”unique tri-peaks solitaire gameplay”, but the whole package lacks enough sparkle compared to other products on the market for DS and, subsequently, leaves players growing weary after only a short time.

The main purpose is to clear away the cards spread before you, each of which is not only emblazoned with the usual number/suit set-up of a standard deck, but also different jewels that get added to your collection every time something is removed from the main playing area. Once the solitaire section is done with, the game moves onto a Match-3 mode.
