In Brief:
Jack Frost Winter Adventures 2 has never been given away before.

As the name implies it's a solitaire card game with a Winter/Festive theme. We've had several of these games from 8Floor over the last few years, all of them with the same or similar game mechanic. Todays' game is no different from most of the previous titles in that you can remove chains of cards rather than pairs (as in the last solitaire game we got called
Egypt Solitaire: Match 2 Cards that we were were given on the 22nd August HERE). The chaining method is much easier than the pairs method, making it easier to finish levels completely or to get the maximum score. Everything else about the two different mechanics such as the Joker, Mulligan and Shuffle remains the same in all versions of this game from 8Floor.

These solitaire games are a pleasant distraction for a few hours; and well worth downloading, especially if you enjoy playing solitaire games. Todays games graphic has colours associated with ice and cold i.e. blue and white with a winter and Festive/Christmas based theme.

The game is introduced with a simple tutorial to walk those (few) of you who've not played this type of game before through the basics. Thankfully the tutorial can be skipped if you wish. There are 120 levels divided into 12 different locations, each location includes ten levels. As you progress, you'll unlock various trophies for example, pass all levels in Newbie & Professional modes, Maximum points in Newbie mode for 1, 6 & 12 levels and the same for the Professional mode, Get the maximum number of points on three levels in a row and, using various bonus' a specific number of times as well as others. There are 20 trophies in total to earn. There's also a shop where you can spend the points you've earned buying one of three bonuses, i.e. Mulligans (2500) Jokers (8000) & Shuffles (5000) . The Mulligan is IMO the best bonus as you can also return a bonus to the deck if you mistakenly used it wrongly.

You cannot play the Professional mode until you have completed one set of ten levels in Newbie mode. In Newbie mode you can replay any level you wish once unlocked, whereas in the Professional mode you can only replay a previous level once you've completed the entire pack

You can see a few videos of game play HERE, HERE and one via the Steam store page HERE.
Conclusion:
If you don't mind playing the same old same solitaire game as most previous solitaire games we've been given over the last few years, which includes several titles; granted, with a different theme and card skins, then this is well worth downloading, especially as it is coming up to the festive season in just over a week.

Whiterabbit-uk,

Notes on Security
I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found the same three hits (VBA32, Jiangmin & MaxSecure) from 64 antimalware engines. These three are amongst only several antimalware suites that often tag TooMKY Games and other free game sites virtually all the time , compared to most better known and more reliable antimalware engines, so it's very likely to be a false positive; so, it's very likely to be a false positive.

The downloaded executable 'may' include some low level adware that opens your browser to TooMKY Games home page after the game has installed and may place some shortcuts onto your desktop; these can be safely deleted once the game has installed.

The installation does NOT inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to TooMKY Games home page following the games installation, it earns TooMKY Games games some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. The giveaway version of TooMKY games version has had most of the adware disabled.

You can see the results of the scan HERE.
If you're still not convinced of the games efficacy and want to be absolutely sure that the game is safe to install, please use a sandbox program to check that the game is safe to install before installing it to your C drive or other drives on your computer (assuming you have more than one drive).


There are free sandbox programs such as Sanboxie, GeSWall, BitBox, Windows Sandbox, Bufferzone (a six month commercial license was given away via the applications side of the project back in December 2009 HERE), Shadowzone, as well as others. (You'll find them all on the same page from Techwhoop.

Hi Whiterabbit -- I've been away from this site for a while. I remember that you used to list some sources for free and cheap games, then you stopped but gave a link to someone else who had sources. Am I remembering correctly? If so, could you give that link again?

Unfortunately, this is another 1 of those games that presents as a non-32 bit game, BUT IT IS A 32 BIT GAME. You can't blame Steam or GGOTD for this, it's an odd glitch that gives a "not valid 32 bit application" error when you click on the program, but that icon only activates the other executable program in the folder, the icon marked Game. The Solitaire Jack Frost Icon only adds the Toomky opening screen with any ads I guess - I forget because the named program hasn't worked for me for awhile - but the icon marked Game is the actual program and it WILL work for you. So, folks with old 32 bit machines can actually download and play this.

I have enough of these, especially since any solitaire card game has theoretically infinite replayability, since the decks reshuffled every time. However, I partly downloaded to test and verify that it does work on 32 bit machines, but also - as Whiterabbit and Jason correctly said - this has a nice festive christmas theme with some cute card designs and slightly busy but still appropriate music. Many of the others have dark themes, which doesn't bother me, but this is a nice change of pace.

A couple of slight additions to what's already been said about this type: the "accomplishments", such as 3 perfect scores in a row on the 1st 3 levels, not only give you an "award", but also a considerable amount of bonus points which can really be a boost when you need to buy Mulligans, Jokers, or Shuffles. These are essential when you get to the more difficult levels.

You can gauge the difficulties of any particular card layout by a couple of rules of thumb: how many cards in the deck and how many upright cards you have to play on. Anything with half a deck (26 cards or less) and only 3 cards, sometimes 4, to match are probably going to be difficult and will need bonuses, or replays, or both, to complete. Any nearly full decks and/or patterns with 7 or more, and often 6 or 5 cards to play on will probably work 1st time through and you should be careful about spending bonuses on them, at least early, although a shuffle's useful if you have too many of the same cards. You can use the same rule of thumb I mentioned above, if you have only 2, 3, or 4 different cards because of duplicates, and you're getting low on the deck, might be time to spend a shuffle. Depends also whether the cards lead into one another making potential multi-card chains. Another useful fact is that the levels have more special cards available in the 10 patterns than are needed to complete a level, and the later levels get hard to accumulate perfect scores on. I find myself going through these a 1st time without replays to accumulate as many cards and perfect scores on the level I can, and then, when I fall short, replaying my "imperfect" layouts until I can nibble out the required amount of cards to pass the level. Some of these layouts are so difficult that you really can't expect to get through them without accumulating a number of bonuses. If you use them earlier, when you can get by without them, you'll have to do even more replays to accumulate new bonuses.

Of course, you'll be slightly better at it if you're a card counter, which I'm not. But, 1 thing about the multiplier that Whiterabbit mentioned. It also rewards you for the speed you make the chains. If you notice, the multiplier starts moving down in between your moves, so fast is better. However, if you're not deliberate enough, you can end up missing moves. These games have an annoying, if useful feature: when you miss a play, an eligible card for the chain you miss will wiggle at you, which can be distracting, but tells you when you might want to use a mulligan if you have or can buy 1. Though, be careful with this. Removing "special" cards is how you win. If a card is wiggling on you but isn't in a pile that has any special cards, ignore it. The small amount of coins you get per card, which starts at only 20 and doesn't go up THAT much even with a high multiplier, isn't worth the 2500 coins needed to buy a mulligan.

And, though it's probably highly obvious, that's 1 of the keys to winning: knowing which piles have cards you need to move and which don't, and just have helper cards good only for moving cards on the important piles.

In any case, happy gaming, and thanks to GGOTD, Toomky, Whiterabbit, and Jason.

Weepawz, Part of my answer did not show up. Jack Frost Winter Adventure 2 has been offered before. I downloaded it and played the whole game.

Weepawz,

Hi Weepawz,
The second version as far as I can see has never been given away before. What has been given away was the first in the series on the 3rd of January last year. You can see the game via the following link:

https://game.giveawayoftheday.com/solitaire-jack-frost-winter-adventures/?preview=1

I cannot find the second version anywhere in the listings, which cover every giveaway from December 2006 to the present. The only games not listed are the ones given away via the applications side between Oct 2006 to early December when the game giveaway site was opened and for about a month when the daily games stopped back in March/April 2008. The game side then reopened a month later with games just at weekends. This was a result of the financial crisis.

Weepawz,

Hi Weepawz, I didn't reject any emails. Wouldn't know how to. What email did you use to send your copy?

As Christmas is coming up soon and we still endure the mental pain of the negative news on the TV, this Solitaire game is a nice welcome to the Giveaway site for a Saturday so you can get your mind off of things for a bit, or maybe even awhile. Enjoy Cocoa, Tea or whatever drink you like, just don't spill on the Keyboard.

The game is very simple you have to remove cards that follow sequential order. In this game, the game does not care about the color or suit of the cards just as long as you remove them in the order it wants.

I had played a lot of these kinds of games on Pogo before their format changed. Now I find myself playing these games on Arkadium although the advertising is a bit much on their site at times

Although the backgrounds are fixed in this game you can change the backs of the cards with some nice holiday themed card backs. And the music well, it puts me in the holiday mood :)

If any of you don't have this already it's just the game to give you a pick me up spirit wise during the holidays. It's something the whole family will enjoy to complete the levels.
