The games ⢠Klondike ā the classic patience game, with Draw 1 or Draw 3. ⢠FreeCell ā every card starts face up, with four free cells to plan your moves. ⢠Spider ā build runs in a single suit, with 1, 2 or 4 suits, from relaxing to really tough. ⢠Yukon ā no stock, and you can move any face-up card together with the cards on top of it. ⢠Spiderette ā Spider with one deck and seven columns, in 1, 2 or 4 suits. ⢠Pyramid ā take away pairs of cards that add up to 13 and clear the pyramid. ⢠TriPeaks ā clear three peaks of cards by playing ones that are one higher or one lower than the waste, and build long runs for bigger scores. ⢠Golf ā clear seven columns of cards by playing ones that are one higher or one lower than the waste. Every card is face up from the start, so you can plan ahead. ⢠Forty Thieves ā two decks of cards across ten columns: build down in a single suit, move runs of one suit together, and turn the waste back over once. ⢠Scorpion ā seven columns with a reserve of three cards.
