Touch Master DS is a collection of mini games including solitaire among others.
At the main menu, the games are split into four categories, Favorite, Cards, Skill and Puzzle.

The game retails farily cheap now, anywhere from £10- £15 depending on where you look.
Cards include Target 21, Solitaire Classic, Power Cell and Pheonix 13, among others.
Skill has Word Search, Trivia, Hot Hoops etc. and Puzzle has Crystal Balls, Pairs, Gem Slide and Mahjong Pairs.
Favorites has all of the games that you most play.

There are a few classic well known games in this collection, like Solitaire, Gem Slide and Majong Pairs, but alot are unknown and unusual.

Solitaire: (Cards) On clicking on solitaire, the game tells me to "get ready for a classic game of solitaire". You can have a choice of playing alone, or with three players.
You click to select a card and click the place you want to move it to. The Game is easy to get the hang of. There are rules on how to play the game if you are not familiar, and the rules are sweet and simple to understand.
Even though not all of the games are instantly know, it doesnt take ling to pick the idea of them up, and are actually quite fun to play.

Pond Kings: (Skill) is essentially playing checkers with frogs, as they reach the other side of the board they become "kinged". It adds a little bit of interest to the usual "discs". You have the option to play as one player or two player. One player is played against the "computer" Choose who starts first, or have it as random.

Hot Hoops: With a row of basket ball players, you shoot basket balls into a moving hoop in a given time. It takes aim and timing! Its a really easy game to play, and its quite fun. It certainly brings out your competetive side to beat each others high score if played wit others!

This DS game brings classic strategy and puzzle games into one place. Graphics are colourul, clear and funtional. Granted it is a little outdates and it isnt amazing quality, but it is acceptable and isnt terrible, and i think the cheap price reflects that.
This isnt the greatest collection of, i guess you could call them "mini" games, but it definately isnt the worst ive seen on the market. Games are a little challenging, but not so impossible or boring that you give up before you achieve anything.

If there is a long coach or train journey i would say that this would certainly pass a few hours you find yourself becomin engrossed in the games. If you like puzzle, strategy or board like games, i would reccoment buying this game, however if you like a story to your game, or enjoy adventure or platform games than this might not be the best purchase for you, as that isnt the purpose of the game.
