Solitaire Grand Harvest is a web-based card game that challenges you to build your own farm, collect the most apples, and bake the most pies. It was created in 2013 by Matt Mireles, who wanted to introduce children to the history of American farming.

Solitaire Grand Harvest challenges players to build their own farm while trading goods with each other and learning about American farming history. There are three levels of difficulty available: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. In addition, there is a tutorial that explains the game's mechanics.

Before every game begins, players have the opportunity to customize their Grand Harvest farm. There are two buildings to choose from: an orchard and a bakery. The player can also select the gender of their avatar and choose its facial appearance. Players begin each game by planting an apple tree, then collecting apples in order to make pies in their bakery. Players can also visit their friends' farms, which allows them to sell or trade items with each other.

Players can win points by gathering apples and baking pies. Additionally, players can collect stars to gain special abilities that affect the game in various ways. Points are added if a player has the most apples or if a player becomes the fastest baker in the game.

The number of available points increases every two levels and new features are added too. The following is a list of some of these features:

Players can play with any farm they wish, but they should choose wisely. When a player upgrades to the next level, the buildings in his or her previous farm will not transfer over. All of the apples and pies that were collected in previous games will be left behind as well. However, players can compensate for the loss of items by visiting their friends' farms.

"Solitaire Grand Harvest" has been in development since 2013, and it was officially released on October 10, 2014. The game has been praised by teachers for its educational value. In 2015, the game won a Teachers' Choice Award in Early Childhood Education from Amazon.com.

In order to win Solitaire Grand Harvest, players should focus on the following strategies:

1. Plant trees in your farm. The more trees you have, the more apples you will be able to collect during each game. It is a good idea to get an orchard early in the game and then build a bakery later when you have enough apples. It is also helpful to visit your friends' farms because they will be able to give you apples if they are unable to collect any from their own trees.

2. Upgrade your buildings. It is almost always a good idea to upgrade the buildings in your farm. However, there are some buildings that cannot be upgraded, such as the farmhouse and old barn. As you advance in the game, it is possible to find hidden upgrades for some of your buildings as well.

3. Create a map of your farm and place them around your farmhouse so you can easily find them later during each game.

4. Trade with your friends or send items to their farms by clicking on the mailbox.

5. Try to visit your friends as often as possible and collect as many apples as you can. This is a good way to earn points in the game because your farm will receive more points than if you were to gather all of the apples by yourself.

6. Go to the market and sell items to get money. Keep in mind, however, that you will have less of an advantage if you visit the market before checking your friends' farms.

7. Make as many pies as possible because each pie is worth more points than apples. In addition, pies are also available at the end of each game and are worth a lot of points too.

8. Collect stars to earn special abilities that help you during your game.

Solitaire Grand Harvest has many different features that make it a highly addicting game. For example, the fact that the game is based on history makes it unique compared to other online games. In addition, the trading aspect makes the game more personal than other online card games. Also, Solitaire Grand Harvest is much more social than many other online games because players can travel to each others' farms and visit them by clicking on their mailbox in order to trade items or sell items at their own market.
