I am posting this tip for BoSSspy. He was having some trouble posting, however he has some really great tips for everyone so I am passing them along. Thanks BoSSspy! :)
ReplyDeleteThe best tip I can give on Megastars is to use your wild card wisely, use it only if you have a run of about 10 or more and only then if you think you can get at least 5 more by using it. Also, before you use it make sure you will come close to finishing the rack. If your card pile is very big, then you want to save it til the end, even if you can get a decent run.
If your turn card can give you a play on either 2 cards or 1 card always choose the single card, you have twice the odds of getting the card that can be played on the 2 card run. Also, always work on the tallest stacks of unexposed cards only exception would be if you can expose say 4 or more cards by playing on the lesser stacks, remember the more cards you have exposed the more likely you will turn a playable card. At times when you have a high unknown stack and exposed cards scattered around with nothing under them, then you may want to skip a play and leave those cards exposed. The reason for this is for instance, you have an ace and jack on the high pile and a 3 and 4 scattered, if you leave those until you clear the ace jack, you have at a fighting chance they will connect with the cards under the ace jack. Lets say you go ahead and play the 3/4 while the ace jack is up when you clear those a 5/6 pops up if you've left the 3/4 then you have 6 card values that can allow you clear them, 2,3,4,5,6,7, whereas if you had played the 3/4 already you'd have just 4 cards that can clear them, 2,3,4,5.
Lastly the clock is not important on Megastars as long as you beat the turn card!
I hope this helps. -BoSSspy
Elaine sent in this useful tip:
ReplyDeleteIf you go to play solitaire on "TournamentGames" make sure you have a lot of time to play a hand. Have a glass of water within your reach and maybe some grapes or your favorite snack. Then, just play to your hearts content.

ReplyDeleteDo not empty a tableau pile unless you have a king to put in it. You gain nothing if you get an empty pile. A space in Klondike solitaire can only be filled by a King or a sequence starting with a King, so leave your options open. If you have choice between black king or a red king to fill space with, be cautious with decision. Look at color of blocking cards and make appropriate choice. For example, if you have a red jack blocking some hidden cards, you have to wait on red king and then wait for black queen.
Always, always move aces and deuces to foundation piles immediately. Good Luck!!
I love Triple Stars! I always quickly look at all the caeds prior to selecting to see which would make the longest run. I also try to figure out my best move by selecting the loners and getting them out of the way. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI find it helpful to know in advance which initial starting sets ups can be busted (completing the entire deck for the bonus) using only two cards to make 13. If you know this in advance do not use 3 or more cards to make 13 if you want to move on to the next level.

Fast Match - Always look at the board before you make your first move. If I cannot see at least 4 pairs right off the bat that I can make, I click the re-deal button at the bottom of the screen. I believe it is three times that you are aloud a re-deal for one game. Also, if you make a match but changed your mind and want a re-deal, you are still able to hit the re-deal button. Once you have made one match and hit that third square though, the re-deal button is disabled and you must play that board. Good Luck!

I'm going to give a Pinball Bingo tip:
ReplyDeleteThe hardest numbers to get are the last 2 on the very top where the ball comes in, the furthest right being the hardest. So you need to scan the rack before you pull the lever look for 8,23,38,53 and 68 you will usually only have two or three of those because there are only 5 numbers of the 15 that make a bingo and they are randomly selected. Try to time the plunger so it releases on the number set you want (as it lights)and use about 1/4 power, this takes a little practice but is important as these numbers are hardest to hit with a shot, also this top area is the only place you should use your bumps other than to save the ball from going out.

When playing Fast Match, when game first opens, i look for any 4 of a kinds and remove immediately. Can't go wrong removing them. Then look for any 3 of a kind and remove the 2 that may block tiles later in game. I then start working on my tallest stacks first, leaving any single stacked tiles or tiles that don't block others for last. Hope this helps!!
ReplyDeleteLove you Tournament Games!!

It takes a lot of practice to become proficient at hitting wild cards in triple stars and mega stars. this task is somewhat simplified by this method: practice getting good at hitting the 3,5,7,9, J, and K. you can cover the whole deck with these 6 cards and get yourself out of just about any situation

fast match: I always try to find a board I'm more comfortable with, either shapes or numbers, etc that helps and then I check out board to see if there are any match of 4 of a kind and try to work it that way. If there aren't any then I try to clear the tallest stacks first and work from there. If they are all in a line or row, I try to clear the outer then work inwards. Plus the faster you clear the tiles on some of the games can also help your total score. hope this helps. Thank tournament games, you guys are aawesome!!
