It is shopping time! The shopping malls have opened, and the new bag collection is on its way. Create the rarest bags to become the trendiest fashion shop of the neighbourhood! Your goal is to create pattern and shape combinations that are not yet on the market by eliminating pairs of identical bags. The patterns are static and never change place, while the shapes fall down when a gap is created. To create a new pattern and shape combination, click two identical bags, and the bag shapes will fall down to create new combinations.
In this online game, speed is secondary to planning. If you just click away the first pairs you see, you will probably not finish all the levels, and definitely not get the highest possible score.
When the shape you need is not in the game field, try making pairs in columns where the top bag is of a pattern you need. This way, the bags falling from above the game field can create an ordered bag directly.

In Flower Power you start with an empty playing field and pairs of flowers fall down from the top. You can decide where the flowers should fall by moving them sideways and rotating the pair as it falls.
The aim of Flower Power is to combine the coloured flowers into groups of four or more flowers of the same colour to clear them away. When you have cleared away enough flowers you progress to the next level. Play through all 3 levels to complete the online game.
The key to achieving a high score in Flower Power is to focus on building large groups of flowers and clear them with multiple chains of clearings for the valuable multiplier effect. Do not instantly remove any group of four flowers you can create unless you are in a tight spot. Instead try to build a stack of flowers so that you can trigger a chain effect of multiple clearings that raises your score.
Mr. Green is great for getting you out of tight spots, and also for triggering large chain effects, but he can also destroy your planned lay-up if you are not careful. If you do not need his help try to place him in an empty column.
Use the sleeping flowers to be able to build large groups of the same colour without getting them cleared instantly. Then wake the flower with a well placed clear next to it to get the score multiplier.

The object of the online game Freecell is to use all cards to build up the 4 home cells in ascending order starting with the aces. Free cells (4 cells in the upper left corner) can be used as temporary placeholders for just 1 card at a time.
As the online game proceeds, the 4 free cells (upper left) are only used as an intermediate holding place where any free card can be temporarily placed in order to access cards buried in the columns. A free cell can never contain more than one card. You can also move any free card into an empty column if any such columns exists.
Do not use free cells unless you have to.
Do not put those cards in the home cells that you might need in building your columns. Cards from home cells cannot be taken back.
Look for low cards (ace, two, etc.) buried high in the columns and develop a plan to free them up.
Try to empty one of the columns. It can serve as an extra free cell.

Gin Rummy is the worlds most popular two-player card game of skill. Gin rummy game consists of a series of hands, and ends when a player accumulates 100 or more agreed-upon points. Then, the final scores are tallied and the player with the higher score wins.
The object of the online game gin rummy is to collect sets of 3 or more cards that go together, either being of the same rank, like all sevens, or forming a sequence of the same suit, like 7,8,9 of hearts. Such matching collections of cards are called melds.
In online gin rummy you observe what the opponent is discarding and which of your discarded cards he is drawing. All discarded cards have to be also memorized. Based on the above and own hand cards, an inference is made as to the structure of opponents hand on the assumption that opponent is trying to make melds as best as he can.

Gin Rummy is the only real alternative to Poker!
Gin Rummy is generally played by two players, each receiving ten cards. The object of Gin Rummy is to arrange your 10 cards into Sets (see below) as quickly as possible so that you can end the round before your opponent does, and accumulate points.
At the start of each round, it is wise to sort your cards into sets, or possible sets, and separate these cards from the deadwood which you may want to discard.
Doing this early on will make it quicker and easier to decide which cards to keep and which to discard throughout the game.
In general, because high valued cards increase your deadwood value, it may be wise to try to discard these as quickly as possible in case your opponent knocks early on in the round.
It is important to take note of which cards your opponent takes from the waste pile, which cards he does not want from the waste pile, and which cards he discards.
With skill and smart thinking, you could walk away with pockets full of cash!
