They've Got Your Back

It appears that Astraware read my mind! After their first two specialized solitaire releases (Halloween and winter), I was beginning to wonder why they didn't just make them add-on packs to the original Astraware Solitaire. Well, it seems that now they have! See the full details below. You can read my opinion of the game here: Astraware Solitaire Review.

"KEELE, Staffordshire, UK - January 30th, 2008 - Astraware(R) is pleased to announce an update to Astraware Solitaire which more easily allows the addition of new graphical features like extra card backs and backgrounds.

Whilst players will see no difference in the way the game plays, Astraware Solitaire version 1.20 now includes a different way of handling resources so instead of having multiple special versions of Astraware Solitaire on their devices, players can keep one copy of the game on their device and install seasonal card back sets as they want. Spooky Halloween and seasonal Winter card back sets which were included in special versions of Astraware Solitaire are now available separately, and a brand new Valentine-themed card set is released just in time for the most romantic day of the year.

Version 1.20 of Astraware Solitaire is a FREE upgrade for everyone who already owns any version of the game! Users wishing to upgrade from the standard version of Astraware Solitaire can simply install the new version over the top. Users of Astraware Solitaire Winter or Halloween editions should install the new version and add the card back packs they want."
