Solitaire Or Patience Games

 Introduction to Solitaire

Solitaire, which is also known as patience in England, is a hugely popular single player card game. 

Solitaire is not actually a single game, solitaire is in reality a family of games, there are hundreds of different ways to play solitaire and loads of different versions and variations of the game using either one or more decks of cards shuffled together, each individual version of the game has different rules and different skill levels. 

The most basic versions of solitaire can be picked up and learned fairly easily by most card players.

 However the more complicated versions of solitaire could take the player hours to complete and are also much harder to learn.

Solitaire games typically entail dealing out the cards from a deck, in some game two decks are used, the cards are normally shuffled first before set out into a preset layout on a tabletop or other flat surface, and then a player attempts to reorganize the deck of cards by rank and suit using a sequence of card moves, transferring the cards from one position to another whilst keeping with in the rules of the game. 

The ultimate goal of most versions of solitaire is to build complete foundation piles with all of the cards in perfect suit order, but first you need to achieve access to all of the face down cards.

Solitaire Rules

  There are four main types of solitaire, a game which has become popular both as a table top card game as well as online. These four games include spider solitaire, freecell solitaire, pyramid solitaire, and Klondike solitaire which is perhaps the most well known and played. In spider solitaire, the player uses two decks and deals out fifty four cards into ten piles placed in tableau format with the top card being placed face up. 6 cards are placed within four piles with the other six piles containing five cards apiece.
