Solitaire games are a category of single-player card games that typically involve organizing or sorting cards into specific sequences or patterns. These games are known for their strategic depth, relaxing gameplay, and cognitive challenges, often requiring players to plan moves carefully to achieve victory. While traditionally played with physical decks, Solitaire games have evolved into digital formats that retain their core mechanics and appeal.
• Klondike Solitaire: The most iconic variant, featuring a tableau of cards where players build descending sequences by alternating colors.
• Spider Solitaire: A challenging version using multiple decks, focusing on creating sequences of the same suit.
• FreeCell Solitaire: Known for its emphasis on skill, this variant allows all cards to be visible from the start, with temporary storage cells for strategic moves.
• Pyramid Solitaire: Players remove pairs of cards that add up to 13, often requiring creative problem-solving.
• TriPeaks Solitaire: Combines elements of Klondike and Pyramid, with cards arranged in three peaks and a draw pile.
