5 Realms of Cards (2009)

by GameTop.com

5 Realms of Cards is a different kind of card-game. You don't play solitaire or such in this, and you don't have to compete with computer opponents who have clearly been playing tournaments for years. This game is all about trivial gaming for fun.

You travel the 4 realms of the different colors of cards, and then a 5th for jokers. When you enter a realm of say diamonds, the card games are mostly based on diamonds, though the different types of games are more or less the same, but with a lot of variation in rules, goals, special cards etc. You can get a minigame where you have to use some specific cards to finish, but these cards are frozen and can only be opened by making a chain of cards next to them. Chains are made like - Ace,2,3,4,5,ace,5,4,3,2,3,4,3,... As you see it is ok to move up and down in numbers, as long as the cards are adjacent to each other in numbers and position on the table. This sounds more complicated than it is.

Another challenge can be a simple "follow the card"-game where you have to tell where a card is after shuffling them around on the table. The difficulty in the game lies in the optional timer. You are given the opportunity to play timed or untimed. Timed is somewhat stressful, and untimed is as trivial and relaxing as they get.

  I agree that we have a very relaxing game here and that the technical quality (once more for a GameTop game) is topnotch. But on the other hand the game is way to easy to offer a long-time challenge. I played two and a half realms now and I think I only had to start a level again twice or thrice because the time ran out.
  
  But the minigames offer some extra fun and are a welcome bonus to the standard game.

  Very addictive for a coffeebreaker. I started playing it for about half an hour ago, and I am still playing.
  Good quality as always from Gametop and graphics are topnotch. Lots of specialcards, that prolongues gameplay and offers you different challenges throughout your gameturns.

  Chain-the-cards game, best played with timer (it can be turned off, but game loses all difficulty then). Quite clever with plenty of levels and many minigames.

  A prefect timewaster, with lots of minigames to have fun with. Hours of gameplay hidden here, which is more than you can say for windows solitaire...
