Shape Solitaire gives you a series of playing cards to use and a collection of tiles to place them in. In order to place a card, one of the adjacent cards must be one rank higher or lower than the card you're trying to place. Aces count as both high and low. Classic mode gives you four cards at a time to work with. If you don't have any cards that are playable, you can discard all four and get another four. Arcade mode slides a number of cards across the screen at a fixed pace. At any point, you can pull a card out of this sliding row and place it. But in both cases, you'll lose if the board isn't full before you run out of cards. Arcade mode has bonus cards that let you move cards back into your hand from the discard pile, but the random nature of this means it isn't especially helpful. This one may be fun for a little while, but not engaging enough to warrant paying for it.
