World Class Solitaire
 Badge tips Be aware of the 20 minute time limit for South for the Winter, and the 55 minute time limit for Globe Hopper! For badges that require a number of passport stamps or completed cities, be aware that the number of games needed for stamps varies so read the map carefully when selecting your destination! One win for one stamp cities are the best "bargain". Cities requiring three wins for two stamps are obviously a better deal than four wins for two stamps, and so on. For badges requiring you complete World Tour(s), they're completed by circling the globe and crossing the blue vertical line on the map that indicates where you started. For badges requiring tokens, be aware that you'll earn 100 bonus tokens per game if you don't use any power-ups, and 100 bonus tokens for completing a World Tour. You'll also earn 50 to 200 Arrival Bonus tokens for completing a city (based on the number of stamps/games required). For badges requiring power-ups, you get them by uncovering the gold Bonus cards as you play. For game win badges, refer to Game tips. Game tips ALWAYS read a game's How to Play, and also check for a Hints or Tips tab and/or Tutorial. They do help! Don't use your power-ups until you're stuck, and then just use one until you're stuck again. Shuffle and Grab are generally more useful than Peek. Use Shuffle if a card you need is in your draw cards, and use Grab if it's buried face-down under your red/black stacks. You can pull foundation cards back down to your red/black columns if necessary. You can also move partial red/black columns back & forth between each other. These techniques are generally useful later in the game, and often make the difference between a win and a loss. If the top card in the first set of 3 draws is an ace or bonus card, consider letting it stay there until you've exhausted all other possibilities in the game. You know you can always play it, and doing so later in the game will change which cards are accessible from the draw pile without using a Shuffle power-up. If you have a choice of moving two red/black columns that still have face-down cards under them, it's generally better to move the one with fewer cards under it, especially before all four kings are out and have no face-down cards under them. If you can move a card that will clear a column, consider waiting to move it. Sometimes its same-color counterpart will come along before a king. Try to build foundation stacks evenly when possible. If you build one much higher than the others you'll probably have a harder time winning the game - you'll probably need to pull cards back down from the high foundation stack to do so. More about World Class Solitaire Gameplay is identical to First Class Solitaire, with the addition of power-ups. Both games share a flight theme. The Finish button will light up when all cards are exposed, all bonus cards are in the foundation stacks, and a win is inevitable. Clicking it moves all the cards to the foundations quickly and you don't have to click or drag them up one by one. Click on the Passport at the upper left of the screen to see how many stamps you need to reach the next rank. Also, your game stats are listed on the first page of the passport. This game originally had just 25 ranks. When the additional 13 ranks & 3 badges were added, the Easter Island destination was also added to the map. This game ranks up relatively quickly early on then slows down midway through. Ranks 21-25 require 42 stamps, then the "new" ranks start over at 12 stamps for Rank 26. But they build back up again, and the final two ranks require 50 stamps. The most efficient routes for ranking up are: Cancun-Tokyo-London-Indianapolis-San Francisco-Honolulu-Hong Kong-Moscow-Casablanca-Cancun; or Sydney-Hong Kong-Moscow-Paris-Buenos Aires-Lima-Sydney; or Cancun-Sydney-Hong Kong-Moscow-Casablanca-Cancun; or Cancun-Tokyo-London-Indianapolis-Honolulu-Hong Kong-Moscow-Casablanca-Cancun. Work your way to one of the cities on these routes to start, and reverse their order if necessary. It takes a lot of time & dedication to complete this game, but you only need to reach the final rank to get the final badge, not complete it. This game's How to Play includes a notice that doesn't appear in many Pogo games: "All the shuffles and deals of the cards are completely random." This game (sans power-ups) is what the word "solitaire" often refers to when used generically, but it's actually called Klondike. It's been included free with Windows operating systems since version 3.1. Thanks to KensterFoxAF and tarisa72 for sending additional World Class Solitaire tips! |
