Below is a list of each distinctive twist to
solitaire (patience**), a classic game of card stacking.21 versions of solitaire:
- one of a large family of games in which the
whole pack is laid out. Most of these games are difficult to win, but afford good mental
exercise.
- many two-pack solitaires are elaborations of the
classically simple Busy Aces.
- stands at the top of the list of games that give
opportunity for skill. The experienced player wins four or five times as often as the
beginner.
- this solitaire takes it name from a gaming house
at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. The small number of tableau piles makes it difficult to beat.
- with twenty cards simultaneously available, you
should have little difficulty winning this simple game.
- another variation in which the whole pack is laid
out with the option to choose your own foundation sequence.
- a variation of the foundation building solitaire
games where the deuces rather than aces are the starting point.
- this game is probably the most widely known of
two-pack solitaires. The original game is tough to win. Many variations have been
developed, designed to give the player a better chance.
- a simple game to understand and play, but
difficult to beat.
- one of the few solitaires that are almost entirely
a matter of skill. As in Calculation and Sly Fox , you make your own destiny by shrewdness
shown in placing cards.
- a purely mechanical exercise, but plenty of action
makes this game an agreeable pastime.
- while making no great demands, Golf offers some
scope for skill. It is a favorite for competitive play.
- this most popular of all solitaire is at the same
time one of the most difficult to win. Also known as Fascination, Triangle and Chinaman.
- the shuffling tableau makes a kaleidoscopic game,
with some opportunity for skill.
- the most popular member of the Solitaire Addition
family. Although it rarely comes out, Pyramid is widely played and is the subject of
elaborate record keeping on the part of some devoted followers.
- the classic game of Klondike with rules similar to
those in Windows Solitaire.
- this is supposed to have been the solitaire with
which Napoleon beguiled the days of his last exile.
- although largely mechanical, Scorpion is a highly
colorful way of finding out if the chance of the deal has created any crisscrosses. Where
none exist you are bound to win.
- if there is any solitaire that can be licked by
sheer skill against any luck of the cards, this is it. When you lose it, you can usually
put your finger on an obvious mistake - if that's any comfort!
- a blend of two largely mechanical games, Klondike
and Scorpion. Yukon affords surprising scope for skillful manipulation.
