Klondike Games

During Klondike solitaire games you will usually flip through a Stock one or three at a time trying to move them to Foundations that must be ordered in suit. Movement between Columns is always possible when the build rules are followed. In some games only single cards may be moved, whereas other games will allow you to move several together as long as they are packed into proper order.
Klondike Flip-3
Probably the best known of all solitaire games, Klondike is our #1 game.

This variant of Klondike plays in the classic style of flipping only a single card at a time.

Plays like classic Klondike, but you may chose any "Garden" card instead of flipping through the Stock.

Spider Games

Spider solitaire games all feature the requirement to build sets from King down to Ace within the Columns. There are no Foundations. Usually, when a complete set from King to Ace is assembled it is removed from the layout. The Scorpion games also fit this description, but there were enough of them to give them their own type.
Spider
This classic game of Spider now fully conforms to the standard rules. Patience is a key to winning.
Spider-Relaxed
This version allows building in any suit instead of in the same suit as in standard Spider.
Spider-Easy
An easier version that we're sure many players learning to play Spider will appreciate.
Spider 1-Suit
This is probably the easiest version of all. If you are having a hard time learning Spider, try this one.
Spider 2-Suits
This version of Spider is a nice compromise that is challenging but yet not so hard.
Spiderette
This is the standard single-deck version of Spider.
Will O' the Wisp
Here is an easier variation of Spiderette for your solitaire playing pleasure.
Land Of Nod
Another variant of Spiderette, in Land of Nod, build sets from King thru Ace in any suit.

Scorpion Games

Scorpion solitaire games are characterized by the ability to pick up any part of a stack of face-up cards and move them all as long as the top card of the stack being moved is allowed to be placed on the bottom card of the second stack.
Scorpion
Quite difficult to win. Despite that, it is one of Solitaire Network's most popular games.
Simple Scorpion
Since Scorpion is so difficult, we added this easier variant.
Double Scorpion
The double-deck version of Scorpion has twice the sting. Twice the fun!
Australian Patience
This is a nice combination of two other great solitaire games: Scorpion and Yukon.
Double Australian Patience
Very challenging! Beginners should play the single-deck version first.
Yukon
A close cousin to Klondike and Scorpion, Yukon is our fourth most popular game.

The Winnable Shuffles feature, when enabled, guarantees that all shuffles played are possible to win.

Of course, you may continue to play Random Shuffles just as you always have.

This feature applies to most games, but not all. When it doesn't apply, the button will be grayed out.

We hope you enjoy this often requested new feature!

Slider Games

Slider solitaire games are unique in that you are either placing, removing, or moving cards around within a grid in order to achieve each game's individual goals. Usually the location of the cards in relation to each other affect the rules or points earned.

Eliminator Games

Eliminator solitaires are a diverse group of games. They all have the common trait where the goal is to eliminate all cards one at a time in some manner. In a few of these variants the deck is all dealt out initially, but most of these games require you to decide when to add cards to the layout before eliminating others.
Osmosis
This very unusual game is difficult to catagorize. See what you think of it.
Osmosis Peek
This variation of Osmosis gives you a peek at all of the Reserve cards. You may also choose your starting card.

This underrated game is very challenging. Definitely put this one on your list.

Free Cell Games

Free Cell solitaire games are similar to the Klondike variants where you must arrange the layout into four Foundations from Ace to King in the same suit. However, only one card may be moved at a time. Since this makes it difficult, these games provide a certain number of reusable open spaces (free cells) that may each hold any one card.
Sea Towers
Also known as Seahaven Towers, this is quite a challenge. It will take careful planning to beat this one.
Penguin
One starting Foundation rank is purposely buried deep. Can you free the Penguin card and win?
Free Cell
Use the four free spaces to win every time.
Eight Off
Similar to Free Cell. Use the 8 spaces to help you along.

Gaps Games

Gaps solitaire games all have the common trait where the layout must be arranged from left to right and from two to king in the same suit. Aces are removed after the shuffle forming gaps in the layout. Cards are then moved from any place in the layout to any of the 4 gaps as long as certain rules are observed.
Gaps
This easy and fun-to-play game has plenty of decisions to make.
Unlimited Gaps
This variant of Gaps is impossible to lose, but still quite fun. See how fast you can complete it.
Free Parking
This is similar to Gaps but with more choices. Use cards on both sides of the gaps to make your moves.

Shamrocks Games

Shamrocks solitaire games involve a lot of moving cards back and forth to free up others that can be played to Foundations. Often, moving a single card will change the availability of many others, thus opening up even more moves. Careful planning is a key characteristic of most of these variants.
La Belle Lucie
This classic solitaire game allows two redeals. On the last deal you get a free move.
Cruel
This solitaire is unusual because you control when and how many times to redeal.
Baker's Dozen
There is plenty of strategy and challenge to this simple game. A great addition to Solitaire Network.
Box Fan
Although a close cousin of La Belle Lucie, you will be surprised by the strategic nuances of this great game.
Shamrocks
A Shamrock is a cloverlike plant with three-lobed leaves. In Shamrocks solitaire, no Column can hold more than three cards.
Grandfather's Clock
A nice and easy pictoral game for when you are just looking for some light strategy.
Beleagured Castle
One of our most challenging games, Beleagured Castle is a classic.
