** All solitaire
** Most solitaire games have cards which are inaccessible until you achieve the necessary prerequisites. Unfortunately, sometimes those cards ''are'' the necessary prerequisites, in which case you're out of luck.
* LuckBasedSearchTechnique: Many computer solitaire games have an auto-move feature, which will automatically move a card to a valid position. It's common for players to abuse this by simply spamming it on every card until they find one that can move, rather than trying to spot the move themselves.

Solitaire is a family of card games played with the standard 52-card deck (with some variants having two or more decks shuffled together) that are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin designed to be played by a single player]]. Special miniature decks have been made for this purpose to save room on smaller tables, but the popularity of computer solitaire has caused them to be somewhat hard to come by; modern smartphones allow layouts to be even smaller. By far the most recognizable variants of these are "Klondike" solitaire (which most players simply call "solitaire") and "TabletopGame/{{Freecell}}", due to their bundling with UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows operating systems starting with version 3.0 in 1990.
to:
Technically, the name "Solitaire" actually refers to ''any'' game designed to be played by oneself, not just card games -- however, Solitaire card games are so ubiquitous that the term is often used on its own to refer to them. Alternative names include "card solitaire", or the name "Patience" is used in Europe.
Very broadly speaking, the goal of solitaire card games is to take a shuffled set of cards and, under the constraints imposed by the game, make decisions about how to play those cards in order to end up in some winning end-game state.
Most commonly, this involves building and manipulating a ''tableau'' of cards, and using special moves on the tableau to eliminate cards from the game, winning when you have successfully eliminated all cards. A common end goal in many solitaire games is to eliminate all cards in sequence from Ace to King for each of the 4 suits.
The number of varieties of card solitaire is so vast that it would not be feasible to cover them all here. The open-source solitaire collection [[https://pysolfc.sourceforge.io PySolFC]] lists over a thousand variants. Each variant has different mechanics and constraints on what actions are valid.
The most well-known of all solitaires is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klondike_(solitaire) Klondike]] - indeed, it is so well-known that the name "Solitaire" is often used to refer to this game alone. (If you simply type "solitaire" into Google, for example, it will actually give you a playable game of Klondike).
Solitaire games were originally played with real playing cards, with some manufacturers even making miniature decks
Computer solitaire games also have the advantage of being very accessible and allowing players to quickly launch highly elaborate, multi-deck solitaire games that would be cumbersome to arrange physically. It is also quite popular on mobile devices due to the simple drag-and-drop interface requirement.

* ScoringPoints: Windows Solitaire has an option to keep score with two systems:
** Standard: Moving a card from the deck to the table or turning a card on the table over gives 5 points and moving a card from the deck or the table to the foundation at the top gives 10 points. Note that you can score 15 points at once by moving a card from the deck to the table, then to the foundation. Moving a card from the foundation to the table gives a -15 point penalty and going through the deck and starting over gives a -100 point penalty if playing by single draw, but there's no penalty if playing by triple draw. If the game is timed, a time bonus of 700,000 / (seconds to finish) is given at the end if it took more than 30 seconds to finish, otherwise no bonus is given.
** Vegas: The game starts at -$52 and each card moved to the foundation gives $5. The catch here is that you're only allowed to go through the deck once if playing by single draw, or thrice if playing by triple draw. If the option to keep score is enabled, restarting the game costs $52 and the money won or lost in the previous game carries over to the next game; if the option is disabled, restarting the game just puts you back at -$52. Since you're not allowed to go through the deck again and again, most of the deals are unsolvable, but it's often possible to win at least enough money to pay back the initial wager and build a score through several games this way if the "keep score" option is enabled.

There was nothing unusual about seeing someone playing a game at their desk or lunch table - using physical cards - during a work break during the 80s and before. It was ubiquitous enough to be occasionally referenced in media from the pre-internet era, often in the form of a passer-by pointing out an overlooked play.
