A nice classic game for Kindle
584628
I didn't buy my Kindle in order to play games, but the games make the Kindle even more valuable to tote around with me when going to a doctor visit, or other place where I might have a really long wait time.

Certainly, due to the way Kindle operates, the game control functions are not quite as easy as on a computer.  However, it is not so unwieldy as to detract from enjoying the game.  You will find the full array of game functions, such as Quick Reveal - the game functions are not truncated, which is really nice.

If you like Mine Sweeper, this is worth getting.

This is a reprint of the classical text on draw poker in kindle format. Some of the terms are a bit dated; e.g., he calls a straight a "sequence", which was the original name. He also gives all the basic strategy you need, such as why if you hold trips you might not want to draw two cards, etc. everything you need is here to start playing and if you read it carefully and apply it, you'll have a leg up on many of the players out there.

This old classic has been around for a while.  This was one of the early Columbia block games which was quite innovative for its day.  Using wooden blocks where the combat values of the units are hidden until revealed at the moment of battle.  This allows for a built in fog of war in that the other player never knows for sure how strong the opposition is.

The game is simple enough for novices, yet still there is enough here for the veteran gamer.  The game covers the Canadian aspect of the War of 1812 and does not concern itself with the American aspects.  There is naval combat for control of the Great Lakes.  Units essentially line up when opposite and roll 1 D6 for each combat value they possesses.  Every 6 causes a hit.  Battles are fought in multiple rounds of fire back and forth until one side or the other is eliminated or falls back.

Each turn is about a month and consists of a land move, a naval move, and then resulting combat.  At the end of each year victory is determined.  The game can last as long as three years or 30 turns unless victory is determined sooner.

A fun, classic game that has stood the test of time.  With 200th anniversary of the War coming up this game is still as good as it ever was.

If you like to play Scrabble, you will probably enjoy this game, and you can play without needing a partner.  It doesn't take a lot of time for each game, and challenges you to beat your previous highest scoring word or game.  Works very well on Kindle.

This game is a sturdy version of the old classic you played as a kid with your friend, a pencil (or two) and a piece of paper.  Or even with a stick in the dirt.  Draw a "grid" of dots on your paper to set up the game and it begins when one player connects two dots with a line. You go from there taking turns drawing a single line betwen dots, trying to form squares.  When you finish a square you put your initial in it, and you win the game by finishing the most squares.

"Fenced In" has a green plastic board (the piece of paper with the dots), little brown plastic fences (the pencil lines), and plastic discs with farm animals on them to mark the players' squares (the initials).  It's a charming manifestation of the old game.

The problem I have is that we didn't receive enough fences.  The game came to an abrupt and unsatisfying halt with fewer than half the squares fenced in and most of the animals still running amok all over the table.  I can't seem to find any way to contact the manufacturer to get more fences.

I was really pleased to see that you can download games such as this on your kindle. I love this game and for the price it is so entertaining.

Always liked the game, unfortunately I don't have the kindle fire. But works well with the older version of kindle. More of a challenge in B/W.

Finally a Cribbage game for Kindle.  Some flaws though.  All-in-all a pretty good game.

Flaws:
  Display of cards looks smudged in Black and White on my Kindle Keyboard.
  It can be hard to distinguish 3s from 5s in the players hand.
  This probably stems from trying to optimize for a color display.
  No undo when you pick the wrong card to play.
  The different Levels of play aren't interesting.
  The cribbage board display is hard to read on my Kindle Keyboard.

Enhancement requests:
  Hint feature for discarding and playing would be nice to help
  novices become better players.
  Pass back and forth mode for 2 human players would be a great addition.

Worthwhile game for $0.99

If you enjoyed playing the classic round Simon game, you should enjoy this game also.  There are four different games, one game for each color. Unfortunately, there is no difficulty setting like the classic game.  The red, yellow, and green games are all easy. The blue game is really the only challenging game.  This could be considered a good thing because if the games were too dificult kids could become frusturated quickly. When you are moving the cubes around you have make sure they are properly alligned. If they are off a little bit, your move will not be registered until you have them alligned in straight matter.

My other corcern is the fact that the game requires 8 AAA batteries. Yes the batteries are included but if the games eats through batteries it could become expensive quickly if you are not using rechargeable batteries. I currently do not know the battery life.

As far as the games go, the green plays like the classic game.  You need to press the colors in the sequence that they come up. Not much of a challenge but of the 4 games, I would say this is the 3rd hardest.

The red game is the simon shuffle, which you need to reallign the four color based on the sequence presented to you. The key to this game is to only watch the first three colors that come up. This is the easiest of the 4 games.

The yellow game is lights off. You need to allign the blocks until all four color blocks go off. The key to this game is to move the blocks in groups of two and you will quickly solve the puzzle. This is the 2nd easiest of the 4 games

Finally the blue game. Simon secret color. You need to allign the blocks in the correct sequence to get them to match the same color. You have 2 minutes to have all four blocks the same color. Definitely more of a challenge. I numbered the blocks from 1 to 4, so it makes it easier to keep track of what I tried.

Simon flash is not cheap but then again many newer games are pricey. I do not believe the full value is there but the price is in the ballbark on what I would be willing to pay.  The game is fun for kids also but they may get bored quickly. Kids are addicted to video games.  On a positive note, there is a mute option so if the kids are driving you crazy with the sound from the game it can be muted

If amazon allowed half stars, I would give it 3 1/2 stars because of concerns with the number of batteries required(8). The ease with 3 of the 4 games, and the realitively high cost for the game.

I would still recommend this game to friends and family, because it is still fun and takes up very little space like most board games.

If you have any questions please post a comment.

I have had this as an app on my Kindle Fire for awhile and I really like it. I decided I wanted to have the disk so I could have it on my Windows 7 desktop. No glitches, easy install. No problems per Malwarebytes and MS Security Essentials. It seems to run a tiny bit slower on my desktop, but no big deal. I like the quality of Mumbo Jumbo games. This is a nice match three game with lots of power ups, does get difficult as you progress. Timed and relaxed mode.

For over a year and a half I had resisted purchasing any of these "games" for my kindle and chastising members of my family for doing otherwise, loading up their reading tablets with stuff other than books. Now it looks like I've got some "crow" to eat. I should have known I would like this game since it involves numbers that remind me of the game "sudoku" while successfully completing the puzzle gives you a picture, and I can't tell you how much I enjoy illustrated classic literature and children's books. What more can I say but "please, pass the crow."

I enjoy this game, but it freezes up and has delayed response etc. a lot of times on a basic kindle. might be better on an upgraded kindle.

I have played this game a few times since downloading it.  Trying to get the cursor to the object is quite a task.  I play hidden object games on a regular computer, so perhaps I'm asking too much of the Kindle in this respect.  More of a child's game in my opinion. Maybe if it were in color, I would like it better.

An enjoyable classic, easy to read in small bits without losing the story line- who knew they could write for reading on a Kindle Phone App?

This is a really fun game, but somewhat easy-going.  Definitely a classic, for me!

I like Scrabble, but the version on Kindle Touch isn't my favorite. It doesn't have a word look up and having color really seems to make a difference in the experience.

I carry a collection of small games to play with grandchildren, and this is one which meets my standards.  This is a game that involves eye-hand coordination, but it's easy enough that little children can play and have fun, as long as grandma isn't too intent on winning. It's also fun to play with high school-age grandchildren.  I prefer this game to the older version.
