The game is based on the classic “Pyramid Golf” solitaire game, where gamers build on the tableau’s stock pile with cards that are one value higher or lower to the face up card, either ascending or descending. To win the level, eliminate all cards on the tableau, moving them to the stock pile. The cool difference here is when you’re stuck and there are no more moves, your handy bonuses can save you! The game also features interesting trivia about the Hawaiian Islands. Download it

Sparkle – Sparkle is one my favorite and most addictive Luxor-like games where you exert your aiming skills to free the Crowberry Woods from the shadow of Darkness. Use your Orb Slinger to shoot colorful spheres into groups of three or more of the same color, which clears the chain of orbs from the board – and in doing so, reclaim every corner of the verdant forest. Pick up amazing amulets and sparkling power-ups hidden along the shaded path. Download it

Treasure Seekers The Enchanted Canvases – Treasure Seekers The Enchanted Canvases takes you to a Romanian castle where Nelly’s brother, Tom, was last seen trying to find the Philosopher’s Stone, a relic with mystical powers. She soon realizes the only way to find him is to step inside each painting hanging on the wall and interact with the characters on these magical canvases, who will then reveal clues that will bring her closer to finding Tom. Solve adventure quests with hidden object challenges to break the castle’s spell, find Tom and discover the secrets of the Philosopher’s Stone. Download it

^{Happy, Happy Friday! Every Friday Mac Games and More posts casual Mac games you might not have heard of that you can play into the weekend. Try them out and come back each week to find the new selection of Mac games!}

Shutter Island – Taking place on an island off Massachusetts’s coast and involving an escaped schizophrenic patient from a hospital for the criminally insane, the suspense novel, Shutter Island (written by Dennis Lehane, the same author who penned Mystic River) turned feature film adaptation (a Martin Scorsese film to be released this month starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Kingsley) now turned Mac game, has made nearly all the rounds. You’ll be tagging along with US Marshals Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule as they set out to find a murderess name Rachel Solando. There’s a hurricane. It’s cold. It’s dark and it’s gruesome; the perfect equation to equal an entertainingly eerie experience! Shudder! While the game Shutter Island is probably one part of a marketing campaign to spread the buzz about the film, it has its own merits as a hidden objects game, filled with adventure quests and puzzles. Download it

Hidden Wonders of the Depths 2 – Hidden Wonders of The Depths 2 is the sequel to the popular Mac game, Hidden Wonder of the Depths, a game that blended mahjong, match 3 and hidden object game play. In this second installment, play through a variety of games as well: hidden objects, match three, slide and collapse puzzles and more. Your ultimate goal is to grant your little crab’s wish of exploring the seas and oceans of the world. During the main game play make matches of three or more by swapping icons, and clear a path so that your crab can approach a treasure and finish the level. Each level you complete brings him closer to his dream! Download it

Tourist Trap – The city of Kitschville has been through some hard times. Nearly all of the businesses in the area have been closed for a while now, and the city has dug itself into a huge hole of debt in the amount of $1,000,000. But! You’re now the mayor in charge of turning the place around. You’ll be responsible for working closely with the city council and listening to all of their ideas wacky and otherwise, with an ultimate goal of reinvigorating the Kitschville economy by making it the Number 1 tourist destination in the country.

Sudoku Epic – Puzzle gamers might agree, I think, that Sudoku is the type of game you either love or hate. There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground. With Sudoku Epic you’ll be in sudoku heaven if you like games like these because it offers literally billions of puzzles! That is indeed EPIC, isn’t it? You won’t be getting bored any time soon here, but it if that does happen, you can change the board size, level of difficulty, enter the newspapers’ sudoku puzzles into the game, or simply design your own puzzles using the built-in editor. If you’re new to Sudoku, give it a whirl! You might find it challenging and fun. Basically, you’ll need to fill all blank squares on a 9×9 grid with the correct numbers. Each column and row must have numbers 1 though 9, with no repeats. Lastly, the nine 3×3 boxes that make up the grid must also contain numbers 1 through 9.

^{It’s the end of the work week, which means Happy Friday! Each Friday Mac Games and More posts casual Mac games you might not have heard of that you can play into the weekend. Try them out and come back each week to find the new selection of Mac games!}

The Clumsys 2 Butterfly Effect – If you played The Clumsys 1, you might remember that Grandpa dabbled in time travel that ended up in zany antics all over the place. The sequel, The Clumsys 2 Butterfly Effect, takes you to more grampy time travel when he inadvertently brings back a butterfly from prehistoric times. So, here’s where you come in. Join Helen and rediscover all of civilization’s greatest discoveries that never happened in this hidden objects game for Mac, while Grandpa stays home working at reviving the prehistoric butterfly. Download it

Hot Dish 2 Cross Country Cook Off – Remember the Mac game, United States of Pool, where players crossed the country after completing a series of pool matches? Hot Dish 2 Cross Country Cook Off, would be a remote cousin, a United States of Food of sorts, where gamers combine traveling across the country with competing at regional cook offs. You’ll be joining chefs from all over America, and you’ll need to master a multitude of local dishes like Gumbo from Louisiana, Shrimp & Scallop Kebabs from Maine, Boston Baked Beans, just to name a few. Ultimately you’re vying for a place in the final round of the Gourmet Grand Prix. Download it

Annie’s Millions – Have you wondered what you’d buy if you had a million dollars? Or is that just me? Anyway, with this new Mac game, Annie’s Millions, live vicariously through Annie, as she spends a million dollars in order to inherit her uncle’s fortune. You see, her eccentric uncle has decided to pass on his riches while he’s still alive but he’s not sure who to give this inheritance to. I don’t know why he can’t just split it up and give it to everyone – but I suppose that would be less interesting so he decided to instigate a friendly family competition among Annie and her cousins. To fuel the fire in this money race, time is of the essence. Whoever spends a million dollars first, and spends it wisely, will win uncle’s jackpot. In each hidden objects scene, you’ll need to find and purchase everything on the list to move on to a new buying spree scene. Spend away until you reach a total of one million dollars! Note: if you need to use a hint, you have to earn it by playing mini-games. Download it

Elementals The Magic Key – Enter a world of magic and mystery inhabited by elementals (spirits of water, earth, fire, energy, air and primeval nature). Embark on a hidden objects adventure to help out the young magician, Albert, and restore the Key of Eiron and save his sister who was kidnapped by the wicked sorcerer, Sibelius. Your assistant, Felly, will faithfully follow and help you. Solve brain-bending puzzles, search for hidden items and beat the bad guys with board game battles. Download it

EcoRescue Project Rainforest – You hopefully will not feel AS guilty playing Eco Rescue Project Rainforest as you might with other games some call “time wasters” – and we could use any excuse we can to play games, right? There’s no made up story about someone getting kidnapped and you having to rescue them, and there’s no fictitious evil curse to be lifted by your gaming skills. Here, you’ll jump right into a factual milieu. While you do play a conservationist, the prodigious information about the world’s rain forests is true. Your official mission is to restore the rain forests all over the world by removing their pollution. With hidden object game play, identify changes in the environment, help out the animals in danger of losing their habitats and restore the regions. All throughout this Mac game, learn fascinating facts about various environments as you rescue the rain forests being threatened by Man. Download it

Fun Friday of Five Mac Games

^{Happy Friday, everyone! As usual, every Friday Mac Games and More posts casual games you might not have heard of that you can play into the weekend. Try them out and come back each week to find the new selection of Mac games!}

4 Elements- A once blissful land has been turned to blackness because the four powerful forces of nature (air, earth, fire and water) have become disrupted and unbalanced. You’ll need to locate 4 books of magic that only you can decipher by journeying through many levels of puzzles. Finding these 4 elements will unscramble the books’ secrets and will help return the land to its original state of being. Your only assistance comes from a forest fairy. 4 Elements is a twist on the gem match three genre and also offers different kinds of game play. Throughout your journey, you’ll also encounter spot the difference games as well as hidden object challenges. Download it

Ancient Hearts and Spades – Ancient Hearts and Spades takes two of the world’s most popular card games and gives them a surprisingly fresh new look right on your Mac’s desktop. These are two of the many games I grew up playing with my family but we used real cards; what a concept! Anyway, some of you, too, might remember why you spent hours and hours playing them. If you’ve never played Hearts or Spades, you can follow the very excellent, brief and to the point rules of the games. The games are easy to pick up and fun to play. Download it

Sweeney Todd - Short serial publications called Penny Dreadfuls were introduced in England during the 1800s. These fictional horror stories always embraced a macabre plot and each part of the story cost one penny. The String of Pearls: A Romance was one such penny dreadful, which is actually the original story that introduces Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. A brilliant musical, one of my favorites by Stephen Sondheim, as well as a movie were based on this penny dreadful. If you’re unfamiliar, Sweeney Todd’s a vengeful barber who kills his clients by giving them a REAL CLOSE shave, then gives their bodies to his girlfriend so she can make meat pies with them. Fun! Now, on to the game. Of course, the story offers much more depth than the basic plot I’ve just described and there are side stories happening simultaneously: people and items are missing and mysteries must be solved. You’ll have several adventure quests to solve, as well as puzzles and there are a good number of hidden objects challenges, where you’ll be scouring through gritty, grubby 19th century London. Lastly, there’s some singing in this game, but it has nothing to do with the original musical (I wish it did!). You can opt to skip ahead if you want to jump right into the game. Download it

Be Rich - How can you ignore a Mac game called Be Rich? I couldn’t. Pick up this sim game and work on various construction projects. Your success with building a number of things: cinemas, apartment buildings, mansions, chateaux, luxury stores, amusement parks and more – will be directly related to whether you will accomplish exactly what this game is called. In each town, you’ll have different challenges. While you take on construction jobs, you must also juggle buying, selling and upgrading other properties. Can you handle all that? Then, it’s time for you to Be Rich! If you enjoyed the Build a Lot series of Mac Games you’ll probably love Be Rich. Download it

Ancient Secrets – Hidden object adventure Mac gamers, you’ve hit pay dirt this week. Play Ancient Secrets and team up with Kate, an archaeologist in search of pieces of a mystical key, which reveal the ancient secrets of the Tekka, an advanced and enlightened civilization that existed before Roman times and even before anyone had discovered the Amazon. Solve puzzles, adventure quests and hidden objects challenges as you continue your quest for the key to ancient secrets . Download it

Fun Friday of Five Mac Games

^{Hello and Happy Friday! If you haven’t seen this before, every Friday Mac Games and More presents casual games you might not have heard of that you can play into the weekend. Try them out and come back each week to find the new selection of Mac games!}

Simplz Zoo – Similar to the captivating Fishdom game series, which combines either match three games or hidden object games with a sim, the perhaps even more addictive Simplz Zoo also takes inspiration from this formula but instead of building an aquarium here, gamers will build a zoo from scratch. The choices for your zoo masterpiece are enormous. First, play through match three puzzles swapping icons vertically, horizontally and diagonally – accumulating resources like food, building materials, decorations, money, manpower, pathways and more in order to construct a zoo that is as elaborate (or simple) as your imagination will allow. Your zoo starts out ranked as number 1000 out of 1000, so things can only get better from there as you strive to move up the ladder to become number 1. It takes playing through a lot of puzzles, planning strategically, caring for animals, saving endangered species and organizing and maintaining a zoo, and this will keep you busy for a long time, but I think you’ll love every minute of it. Download it

Boonka – Boonka is a clever, creative and rather kooky twist on sliding puzzle match Mac games, and it even has a fundamental environment message to boot. Your ultimate mission in Boonka is to rebuild a group of trees that have been chopped down by the evil Skours, portrayed as dark, menacing clouds. Unlike other match games that either swap tiles (like Bejeweled) or slide and line up tiles (like Chuzzle), gamers can move Boonkas in any direction individually but only horizontal matches can be made. Use the pixie jars to eliminate anything above them so Boonkas don’t stack up to the top. If that happens, the Skours win and you have to start over. If you successfully remove the Boonkas, the trees begin to grow back! Download it

Youda Legend The Golden Bird of Paradise – The Youda Legend continues following the huge and successful hidden objects Mac game, Curse of the Amsterdam Diamond. In this installment, you’ve taken a much needed vacation just after your action packed adventure in Amsterdam, but a visit to a fortune teller soon has you embarking on a new journey that will take you to faraway tropical islands. This leads you on an odyssey to ancient temples. Later, you will come across a long vanished tribal civilization and finally be able to reveal the unyielding mystery of the golden bird of paradise. Download it

Alice’s Teacup Madness – I think and hope Lewis Carroll would be flattered knowing that his whimsical and nonsensical literary tale was translated into a Mac game. Alice’s Tea Cup Madness follows the original story in that Alice has fallen down a rabbit hole, but diverges immediately from there. In order for Alice to exit the wacky world of wonder, she’s to work and earn her way out of there by serving tea and pastries to quirky and oftentimes picky characters. Download it

Pop-a-tronic – Pop-a-Tronic is an addictive bubble popping puzzle game for Mac. As bubbles fill the screen, pop them as fast as you can. Inhale bubbles and pick a new place to drop them. The bubbles are constantly approaching, so do your best to clear the board as fast as you can. There are four game modes to vary the game play: Puzzle, Marathon, Lock-Out or Self Destruct. The game might remind some gamers of Collapse but with more game modes, power ups, challenges and bonuses. Download it

The Tudors – The Royal House of Tudor ruled the Kingdom of England and its realms, including the Lordship and Kingdom of Ireland, from 1485 until 1603.

Top Chef – Much like the Top Chef TV show, in the game, you’ll be competing against a line-up of chefs completing various cooking challenges. You’ll then have your meals judged by Padma Lakshmi and Tom Colicchio. Unlike other cooking games, you’ll be creating recipes yourself, rather than following someone else’s recipes. Padma will brief you on what is required of you, then off you go to one of your many workstations. You do have to know your foods to succeed with Top Chef, which makes the game ideal for foodie gamers. Download it

My Kingdom for the Princess – In this simulation meets time-management game, a wicked tornado has hit the kingdom swirling around people, animals, trees, roads, hamlets and more. Everything is in ruins, and King Olgert was struck by lightning laying ill and teetering between life and death. His daughter, Princess Helen, must return to the castle to see her ailing dad. To make matters worse, there’s a fire-breathing dragon with a growling stomach flying above the land, ready to prey on its next human meal. Take on the role of the chivalrous, brave knight named Arthur to escort the Princess safely back to the empire, and to restore the kingdom back to its original state. Download it

Strange Cases: The Tarot Card Mystery – This hidden objects adventure takes you on an investigation with FBI Agent Claire Ellery, in what seems to be a triple kidnapping in an unassuming small town. When an anonymous source leaves behind strange tarot cards at various locations, the case becomes more complicated and our agent soon realizes there’s more to it than an ordinary kidnapping. Follow each of the tarot cards while also solving challenging puzzles and looking for hidden objects that may help shed light on the kidnapping as well as on the strange rituals about to take place.

Caribbean Hideaway – Some gamers would guess that this is a swap gem style match three Mac game with a Pirate theme based on the screenshot, and you’d be right about the theme, but not about the gem swapping. It’s actually more of a Collapse game with a slight twist – PLUS a sim. In the story, deckhand Dewey is trying to enjoy his yo-ho years sailing the seas with other pirates but his life soon becomes tangled in a piraty knot. His girlfriend, Ruby Barnacle, gets arrested at Shark Tooth Tavern for having associated herself with a known pirate – but the real truth behind this story is: The Governor of Port Baron is using Ruby as bait to snare the biggest pirate of all: Captain Caninbahl, Dewey’s boss.

The game takes its inspiration from the original novel of the same name, Peril at End House, A Hercule Poirot Mystery, which was written 76 years ago.

^{Happy New Year! I sincerely hope that 2010 will be the best ever for you and your loved ones. Now…let’s play some Mac games!}

Mean Girls – Roughly based on Mean Girls, the movie starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Tina Fey and Tim Meadows, which happened to be based on a non-fiction book, Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman, the game version adheres to the same story about Cady, a home-schooled teenager raised in Africa who gets transplanted to America, just in time to have the oh-so wonderful and typical American experience of being confronted by high school mean girls! In this match three game meets sim game play, go back to high school as the beloved peacemaker … or would you rather make plans for total domination? It’s time to decide as you match wits with … the Mean Girls. Download it

This is a fun, platformer, jump and run mac game like our classic and wonderful and favorite game of Mario. Download it

Super Text Twist – I’m a sucker for practically any challenging word game, so I’m starting off the year with Super Text Twist, which happens to be just that. Don’t worry about it being a game and feeling like you’re wasting time. Think of it as a tool to sharpen your mind! You’ve got two minutes and thirty seconds to make as many words as possible with either six or seven random letters. Figure out the combination with the most letters and move to the next level.

Sunset Studio: Love on the High Seas – In this hidden object game for Mac, search through star-studded Hollywood sets for hidden objects, and keep a costly blockbuster from sinking…literally. The temperamental and demanding celebrity of “Titanship,” Katherine Connick, is center stage in this game. Will Meline Deeoni be singing “My Fart Will Go On” on the soundtrack? Bad joke; sorry. Anyway, the star can’t find anything for herself, so you can step in to help out. The game also beckons you to come to the rescue of the floundering production, which seems to be sinking by the minute. Scour through a variety of studio locations and discover a romance that can only be found on an imaginary ship that’s going under. Don’t let it, though! Download it

Gemini Lost – In this real-time strategy sim for Mac, the positions and alignments of the stars and planets don’t really matter as much as your own positions and alignments with the game’s characters and missions. Their needs and abilities and the ultimate goal to help out a small group of people lost on an unknown planet is your primary focus. Get your small group to learn skills, build bridges and become self-sufficient. Match up compatible couples and get them to multiply! When they have kids, wait for them to grow up before you put them to work. Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and build a new civilization. Boldly go where no man has gone before. Oops, sorry about that geeky reference. Back to the game. In Gemini Lost, beware of diseases and other dangers that can impede your progress, and always remember that you have to find all of the Zodiac signs to move forward. The game continues even when your Mac is turned off, so something new and exciting will always be waiting for you when you return to the game. Download it
