Solitaire (card game)

Solitaire is a group of card games that are played by one player. Most solitaire games use one pack of playing cards. In many countries (for example, UK), solitaire is called Patience.

There are many types of solitaire. Some of these are Klondike, FreeCell, Pyramid, Golf, and Spider. Some computer operating systems come with simple video games that copy the gameplay of solitaire games. For example, there is a Spider Solitaire game on Microsoft Windows.

In Klondike, the player wins the game when the player has all the cards in four stacks organized by color ("suit") and number.

Types of games

• Patience, also known as "solitaire with cards", usually involves placing cards in a layout and sorting them by the game's rules.
• Klondike is the most common kind of solitaire. It is bundled with the Microsoft Windows operating system under the title Solitaire.
• Mahjong solitaire
• Peg solitaire is a board game in which the goal is to empty the board of pegs through movement and capturing. It is more of a puzzle than a game.
• Concentration, also known as Memory, Pelmanism (UK), Shinkei-suijaku (Japan), Pexeso (Czechia) or simply Pairs, is a card game in which the cards are laid face down on a surface and two cards are flipped face up over each turn. The object of the game is to turn over pairs of matching cards.
