The story is generally described as light-hearted and engaging, with a pirate theme that includes elements of adventure and romance, though some reviewers note it lacks originality and depth. The narrative is presented in a journal format, which adds a unique touch, and while it may not be groundbreaking, it maintains interest throughout the gameplay. Overall, the combination of a well-written story and appealing graphics enhances the experience, particularly for those who enjoy a narrative alongside their solitaire gameplay.

The gameplay is straightforward, revolving around the classic higher/lower card mechanics typical of solitaire, but enhanced with unique elements like octopuses and cannonballs. While the lack of a soundtrack may detract from the experience for some, players can enjoy the colorful graphics and well-written story. Overall, the game offers solid mechanics and enough variety to keep players engaged, despite some potential frustrations with card stacking.
- “The gameplay is straightforward; you pick a card higher or lower than the one in your hand and make chains to clear the deck.”
- “Gameplay is solid; they give you enough cards in your deck to clear the board most of the time.”
- “Graphics are nice and colorful; gameplay did take a little getting used to. It's basically to play a card higher/lower than the one shown, but you also have other different mechanics.”
- “There's basically no soundtrack during gameplay, which would be a big turn-off, but I learned to just listen to my music player instead.”
- “When you have just one column remaining (because that's how the mechanics of the layout worked) and it is composed of multiples of the same card stacked one on top of the other, there is no real chance of winning.”
- “Gameplay is the same as any of the other solitaire games, but the setting is very well presented and the story is well written.”
