Solitaire Game Guide

 Introduction to solitaire:

Despite what you may think, solitaire isn’t actually one specific game… it’s actually an entire category of different card games. Solitaire is actually any card game that you play on your own. The game called “Solitaire” that Microsoft ships with windows is actually a type of solitaire game, called Klondike.

There are hundreds of other solitaire games as well though. Another favorite is
FreeCell, which Microsoft also ships. Other popular solitaire games, include Spider,
Pyramid, and Tri Peaks.

Hey, also read this post to know more bout Microsoft solitaire games :

Each solitaire game has different rules, different ways to win, and different
styles.

Some solitaire games, like Klondike, don’t show you all the cards at the start. A
mixture of luck and skill is needed to win the game.

Other games, like FreeCell, have all the cards visible, right from the very start of the
game. This means that the game is totally under the users control… there is no luck
involved at all, and if the user can think things through deeply enough, then they
are VERY likely to win.( Of the 32,000 deals available in Microsoft FreeCell, only
one, deal number 11982, is unsolvable)

Some games are really hard to win, and require a lot of though. 4 Suit spider is one
of these hard games, and completing a game normally takes at least half an hour of
solid thinking. Other games are either quite easy( like most deals in FreeCell), or
don’t require much (if any) thought, like Clock.

Some games have distinctive and attractive card layouts. Pyramid has all the cards in
a big pyramid shape, and the player must remove cards from the bottom layers until
they can reach the top. La Belle Lucie starts the game with 18 fans, which all grow
and shrink as the game goes on. (La Belle Lucie looks particularly attractive on a
solitaire game supporting rotated cards)

Some solitaire games were played regularly by important historical figures. George
Washington and Napoleon were said to play Napoleon at Elba island, with claims
that it helped them to think in times of stress.

All solitaire games help you to think, and improve your concentration and memory-
and yet they are still relaxing and fun… A much better way to unwind than watching
TV!

Conclusion 

No matter who you are, or what mood you’re in, there is a type of Solitaire game
that you will find fun to play right now. I encourage you to try out a solitaire game
package, and discover for yourself all the great fun available in the solitaire
universe.

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. The game is played by using the top cards in the pile to build a sequence of cards regardless of their suit from King to Ace. If all of the cards in a tableau have been removed, then any grouping of cards can be moved to that spot. Only one card can be moved at a time unless there is a grouping of sequenced cards, which can also be moved. If there are no possible moves that can be made from the face up cards, the left over cards can be dealt onto each pile. After a...

Introduction: Work together with your partners and defeat your opponents in Tichu, the exciting and volatile trick-taking card game!

The Tichu variation of this Asian card game was designed by Urs Hostetler in 1991, and has steadily acquired a growing fanbase. Tichu is mo...
