Looking for a fun distraction that feeds the fashion desires in us all? Well the website mylifetime.com just may have the haute couture answer in the form of “Fashion Solitaire”.

A variation on the traditional card game Solitaire or Patience the idea is to put together a wardrobe to die for by corresponding clothing items instead of alternating chronological suits.


From Mylifetime.com
“Match cards and create fabulous fashions in this unique blend of solitaire and mix-and-match fun! Use your style and taste to match garments with models, put together trendy outfits, and create signature collections! Create your very own looks in the Design Workshop and add them to unique outfits for bonus cash. Add to your collection by shopping from a catalog of hundreds of designer items. Featuring more than 45 levels of solitaire-style gameplay, eight styles to develop, and hours of original fun, Fashion Solitaire is the hottest game of the season!”

Sadly I haven’t played yet so I can’t offer an objective review, but blogcritics.org had this to say about the game:
”Although overall Fashion Solitaire is a fun game, it has some nagging issues. For a game based on the premise of beauty, graphics is a beast. The images look simplistic and 16-bit. Characters are pixelated and movement is jerky, and these flaws are magnified when in full screen mode. The game's low price of $19.99 is no excuse for shoddy graphics, for I've played countless free games that look superior to this. Considering that it's backed by a major company (Lifetime Networks), one would expect a game of higher quality.”

Sounds like it may be worth a try to me, but then I am a self confessed card game addict who has willingly lost hours of my life to the whims of lady luck. Wether it actually gives us any real life wardrobe ideas remains to be seen, but the concept shows promise.


Here is a video demo of the game for those looking to play
