Pocket Arcade Westminster Solitaire Game Novelty

Good size, missed this game so much from my childhood

This used to be a great little game. Over the past 6 years I've purchased about 10-12 of them. However, the last one I bought (about 6 weeks ago) is totally different in make. The buttons are too small and hard to push, it is very slow, it requires a constant repeating of pushing the buttons, often I ruin a game by pushing the wrong button in error due to the small size, and in general the new "engineering" is altogether bad. It actually hurts my hand and arm to play very long. I've kept 2 in different rooms of the house in the past and played constantly when I had free time. Now I'm looking for a totally different brand because this one won't do at all. Out of all the old type I've bought, I only got one that was a lemon. Each other one lasted for a long time and seldom required batteries. I've tried to adapt to the new style.....but it's impossible. Don't waste your money.Whoever decided to redesign this thing needs to pay heed to the old adage: "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It."

In my circumstance, this was a perfect gift for my great uncle as his health has declined. He always loved to play Solitare at his kitchen table with cards. He can no longer sit & play this &/or some other games/puzzles. Games on the PC were frustrating to him & cumbersome. I gave this to him for Christmas along with the batteries. He had to replace the batteries today! MAJOR PLAYER! LOVES IT! He can lay back in a recliner or bed & still play his game. I am sure there are many reasons why this is a great product. I can just speak from my prospective of seeing an aging, health-in decline man whose brain wanted to 'play his game" & now he can, does & loves it. I did not pay much for it at all, but no $ amount can be placed on this to me! I will be ordering more games here. This is of good quality as he has played it A LOT. The buttons are a great size for him & the screen is clearly visible. Best gift I've given. THANKS!

The screen so very hard to see. We have an identical unit and the buttons are going bad so we bought another one. Very difficult to make out the cards or suits. Changed batteries and still just as bad.

Very happy! Little smaller than I expected, but the display was large and easy to read. Set up a little different than the one we had that broke, but didn't take long to get the hang of it. The size is good too, fits easily in a purse, pocket or suitcase.

I am 87 and have arthritis in my hands and I thought this would be good for using my hands and keep me alert when I am bored. I received the product promptly, the package was not damaged. The batteries were included so I started to play the game right away. But the face did not light up and I could not read what was happening and no sound came on so I thought the batteries may not be good. There is a tiny, tiny screw holding the battery section but luckily I have a tiny, tiny Phillips screw driver and I replaced the batteries.. I dropped the screw when I was trying to replace it and could not locate it but the batteries stayed in place and the lid was fit well without the screw. It still did not light up and there was no sound, the batteries I installed were new and fresh, a good brand. I cannot read it to see what was happening. I cannot send it back because my printer does not work to print the return slip and my cell phone does not hold a charge to scan the return on it. I am 87 so it was a waste for me, it would be difficult for me to drive to UPS anyway. But I should have known better than to try this. I have had very good luck with other purchases from Amazon but this was a waste of my time and money.

This game did not work upon receipt. Talked to the seller who said to change the batteries & he'd be happy to send the money for the new ones. Batteries were changed but didn't bother to ask seller to reimburse me. It works fine, but the buttons do not push easily & they are so close together as well as quite small so it's easy to delete the game you're playing while trying to push a different key. Another negative is that is does not light up.

ordered. received. product defective. returned for replacement. received replacement which had the same defect. returned for refund. received email that item was received by amazon for refund but my account has still not been refunded. completely unable to get a live person at amazon to speak with.
