The site however functions as a games aggregator and a sort of "game-based roulette" due to the number of game selections available, many of which can be found on other associated online sites. With that, let's take a look at three of the most popular Solitaire versions.

Card Values

Solitaire Guru

To play Klondike you will need seven piles of cards from a 52-card deck (minus the Joker) with all the cards face down except the topmost one. The objective is to come up with four piles of cards on top starting from the King down to the Ace. To do this you will have to take and place cards on top of cards that are of the other color (if your card is black you have to put it on top of a red card) and have a value one step up of the card you are placing.

This may sound simple but Klondike is a very rigid game of chance with almost no room to maneuver. Immersive, intriguing, and addictive, but will require a lot of luck. Solitaire Guru provides a lot of options including left-hand gameplay and others.

Spider

Spider Solitaire started becoming popular around 1949. The origins are again sketchy at best but the name derives from the fact that you have to complete eight rows of cards from King down to Ace win the game. Color or suite does not matter, only the value of the card. The game usually uses two 52-deck cards. The process is similar to Klondike but a way lot easier as you have more legroom to move the cards around. Once a row is complete it is removed until you have eight rows removed which is known as the eight legs of the Spider and you win the game. Spider can be played offline and has an undo option to make gameplay much easier.

SolitaireScapes Collection/FreeCell

SolitaireScapes Collection FreeCell plays just like the two games above. You also have to complete four complete rows from Ace to King (with alternating colors) at the top just like Klondike. The difference is that FreeCell has four free slots at the top left where you can temporarily place a card (kind of like a buffer) to help you manipulate the rows and cards so you can complete the four rows above. Thus, you have 4 Free Cells to work with. FreeCell is included with the SolitaireScapes Collection which also includes four other awesome versions of Solitaire.

Learning to play Solitaire may be difficult at first, but once you understand the basic principles, everything becomes a way lot easier. To help you out, the games come with short tutorial videos of their own.
