A relaxing card break. A satisfying new challenge. Solitaire 2G brings the familiar Klondike layout together with two difficulties, helpful tools and new ways to revisit your favorite deals. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE Tap or drag cards into place. Easy Game lets you choose any of the three visible waste cards; Hard Game limits you to the top card. Use hints and undo when you want a little help, and let automatic collection finish the game once all tableau cards are face up. EXPLORE THE SOLUTION Stuck on a deal? Submit it for a decision. When a solution is available, follow it one move at a time with Previous and Next, or open Details to see the full route. Return restores the progress you had before the demonstration. BEAT YOUR BEST Win in fewer moves than the system and set a new personal best for that deal to earn double points. A qualifying new record during a replay can also add to your total score. KEEP COMING BACK TO GREAT DEALS History separates Easy and Hard games and keeps unfinished, solved and no-solution deals organized. Continue an unfinished game or replay a favorite challenge. SHARE THE CHALLENGE Send a deal to a friend, with the option to include a solution for a solved game. Import a deal number and an optional matching solution to explore it in Research mode, without affecting your scores. MAKE THE TABLE YOURS Choose card faces, card backs, backgrounds and seasonal themes. Use your own photo as a background, choose a left- or right-handed layout, and show or hide area labels and the score bar. Enjoy a larger table on iPad in portrait or landscape. Track your statistics, compare eligible scores on Game Center and enjoy your next card break. Contains ads. A rewarded video may be offered before viewing a solution. Submitting a solvable deal halves its eventual winning score and excludes time and move records. Ordinary replays do not add scores; a qualifying new double-point record does.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Solitaire 2G at 4.8 against Christmas Solitaire.'s 3.8. Solitaire 2G also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (157 vs 5). Christmas Solitaire.'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Solitaire 2G holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire 2G has 157 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Solitaire 2G's written reviews are positive against 100% of Christmas Solitaire.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Solitaire 2G ships an update every 3 weeks, Christmas Solitaire. every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
