Cards is a collection of classic solitaire games: Klondike, Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, TriPeaks, Golf and Yukon. Play them the way you know them. Draw 1 or draw 3. Spider with 1, 2 or 4 suits. Easier FreeCell and Pyramid when you want a gentler game. Russian and Alaska for Yukon fans. Every deal can be won. Hints and undo are free, as many as you like. Each game has a daily deal, with a cup for every day you win. There is a 500-level ladder for each game, from easy to hard, plus stats, streaks and achievements. The cards are easy to read: a bold deck with large numbers, an optional four-color deck, adjustable card size and a left-handed layout. Light haptics when you pick up and place a card. New to a game? We teach it while you play, one move at a time. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. Works offline.

Solitaire Game Pack's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
