Have a break and a little quality time with yourself - have a game of Solitaire. Take the daily challenge or comfort yourself with a winnable deal. Either way you will have fun and keep your mind sharp while doing it.
Who doesn't love a good old game of Patience? My grandmother taught me FreeCell and Spider Solitaire as a kid, with a ragged set of cards in the summerhouse. Now, she is joyfully playing my digital version. I've made all these games so straightforward and self-evident that she has no trouble. I hope you will enjoy them just as much as my grandmother does, along with the more than 1 million players who come here every month for a break.
I've done my best to give the games that classical Solitare feel with smooth gameplay, a modern design, and all the well-known features such as undo if you regret a move, hint if you need a little help and restart when you want a second chance at a game.
If you're a regular player, you can customize your deck of cards to one of my 9 different designs or change the background color to one of your liking.
Whether you accept the daily challenge, take a random shuffle, or comfort yourself with a winnable deal, you have more than 320 free Solitaire games to choose from. They will keep your mind in shape because you're up against your toughest opponent: Yourself!
Have fun, and stay sharp!
