Solitaire

A collection of solitaire games, with clear graphics and a simple interface

A collection of solitaire games, with clear graphics, a simple interface, and no adverts.

Most people know Klondike, and a few more know Spider or Freecell or Pyramid, but there's a lot more to solitaire than that.

(Klondike is not a very good game, because you have about a 33% chance of winning each game, and that mostly comes down to luck. Contrast that with Freecell; over 99% of games are winnable, and each is won by 99% skill.)

This is a small well-chosen collection of solitaire variations, including: Agnes (the Morehead and Mott-Smith version) · Assembly · Australian · Baker's Dozen · Blockade · Canfield · Cruel · Forty and Eight · Forty Thieves · Freecell · Josephine · Klondike · Limited · Martha · Miss Mop ·Osmosis · Perseverance · Poker Squares · Poker Shuffle · Scorpion · Simple Simon · Single Rail · Spider · Spiderette · Thoughtful · Wasp · Whitehead · Yukon

= What makes this different from other solitaire games? =

No adverts, and no spooky permissions.

This solitaire is all about flow. Anything that distracts from your interaction with the flow of the game has been either been tried and removed or not included. "Weniger aber besser" (less but better) as they say in Germany.

Crucially, the default cards are simple and easy to scan; the games can be played by tapping the card you wish to move, and the software figures out where you want the card to go (mostly to the foundation if possible, and if not, the biggest tableau).

Also, the games are authentic, by taking the rules from reputable sources and implementing them exactly. For example, the tableau shuffling algorithm for Cruel and Perseverance has been chosen carefully, Blockade refills empty tableaux from the stock, Baker's Dozen shuffles kings to he bottom of each tableau.

If your favorite version is not included, email us and tell us why it's your favorite and we'll add it if persuaded.

In any case, send us some feedback about what you like and don't like.
