Discovering Solitaire basics

Exploring some common versions of Solitaire

Teaming up for solitary competition

You see many different versions of Solitaire in this chapter. The different games don’t have all that much in common, except that you can play them with a single deck of cards (and they happen to be my favorite Solitaires). Some Solitaires need more than one deck, but not the ones included in this chapter (apart from the two-player, Solitaire-like game Spite and Malice at the end of the chapter). These games range from automatic Solitaires, where you can make every move immediately without thought or forethought, to Solitaires where you can plan your game strategy for at least 10 minutes if you want to. These games aren’t easy, so if you win any of them, you’ll feel a sense of achievement. In fact, I have never managed to win some of the Solitaires that I discuss in this chapter.

To play Solitaire, you need the following:

 One player

 One standard 52-card deck of cards (you usually don’t need jokers in games of Solitaire)

 Space to spread out the cards
