Guides to the card games we build: full rules, worked example hands, and the strategy that actually changes how often you win.
Each guide covers one game you can play on Solitarium, from the deal to the last card: the full rules, the mistakes that trip up new players, the strategy that wins more games, and answers to the questions people ask most.
Every guide includes a worked example. Where a guide plays through a deal from our own game, it links to that exact board, so you can open it and play along. Each guide is available in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
