The story in this game is generally considered weak and secondary to the solitaire gameplay, with some reviewers finding it simplistic or unremarkable. However, a few players appreciate the charming narrative of a knight reuniting with his love, complemented by pleasant visuals and music, making it enjoyable for those seeking a casual experience. Overall, the focus remains more on the card mechanics than on delivering a compelling story.
