Classic Solitaire Games

Klondike is the most widely recognized solitaire card game, played with a single 52-card deck. Approximately 82% of deals are winnable with optimal play. Cards are dealt into seven tableau columns of increasing length. The objective is to build four foundation piles from Ace to King by suit, moving cards between columns.

FreeCell is a highly strategic solitaire game with a 99% win rate where all 52 cards are dealt face-up into eight tableau columns, eliminating hidden information. Four free cells serve as temporary storage, and the goal is to move all cards to four foundation piles built in ascending order by suit from Ace to King.

Spider is a challenging solitaire card game with an 8% win rate in four-suit mode, played with two decks totaling 104 cards. Cards are dealt into ten tableau columns. The goal is to build complete descending sequences from King to Ace within a single suit. Completed sequences are removed until all cards are cleared.

Pyramid is a solitaire card game with only a 5% win rate where 28 cards are arranged in a seven-row triangular formation. Players remove pairs of exposed cards that total thirteen, with Kings removed individually. The goal is to dismantle the entire pyramid by removing all valid pairs before the stock runs out.

Canfield is a single-deck solitaire game with only an 8% win rate, featuring a 13-card reserve pile, four tableau columns, and a stock pile. Foundation piles begin on a randomly chosen rank rather than Ace, and all four suits must build upward from that rank, wrapping from King back to Ace as needed.

Yukon is a single-deck solitaire variant with a 25% win rate, similar to Klondike but with no stock pile. Columns 2-7 have face-down cards beneath face-up cards. Players move any face-up card or sequence — regardless of order — between tableau columns to build four foundation piles from Ace to King by suit.

Double Klondike is a two-deck Klondike variant with a 55% win rate, played with 104 cards. Cards are dealt into nine tableau columns of increasing length, and the goal is to build eight foundation piles from Ace to King by suit. Build tableau sequences down in alternating colors and draw from the stock when stuck.

Sir Tommy is one of the oldest recorded patience games, played with one 52-card deck and a 45% win rate. Cards deal one at a time onto one of four tableau waste piles. Foundations build Ace to King regardless of suit. Cards cannot move between piles and no redeal is allowed, making every placement permanent.

La Belle Lucie is a classic patience game with a 10% win rate, played with one 52-card deck. All 52 cards deal into seventeen fans of three, plus one single-card fan. Only the outermost card of each fan is playable. Foundations build Ace to King by suit. Two redeals allowed. Empty fans cannot be refilled.
