With this collection of 96 different versions of solitaire, players of every level will find plenty of variations to keep themselves entertained for hours. Beginners can enjoy the simple Baker’s Dozen and Magnolia Tree. Those with more experience can try Alhambra, a tricky double-deck game. If a couple of card experts meet up, they can match wits playing the more complex Russian Bank, a battle for two that shows that “solitaire” needn’t be “solitary.” For each game, there’s information on its origins, the number of decks needed, playing time, and degree of difficulty. Game lovers will agree: this goldmine of games is packed with fun.

Solitaire's helper,

Big Book of Solitaire
Purchased as a gift for a Solitaire addict who only knew Klondike and wanted to expand her repertoire. She works many lonely hours as a caregiver and loves this book. Easy to understand and she's already mastered some new games of varying levels of difficulty. Highly recommend this well-organized book.

Big Book of Solitaire,

This review is from: Big Book of Solitaire (Paperback)
I have owned this book for some time & I still enjoy going through the book looking for new games to play & refreshing my memory as how to play games that I have not played in awhile. The games are alphabetized, & list the degree of difficulty, & length of time required to play. The book has games for 1 deck of cards or two. While some instructions are difficult to understand on some of the games, there are plenty of games to play - a total of 101 games. Some of my favorites are Alhambra, Calculation, Cliffs of Dover, Clock, Friendship, Klondike, Mary Stuart, Nestor, Quadrille, Royal Audience, Royal Court, Thirteen, Thirteen Wisemen. My Mother loves to play Spider. I write down the date that I 1st played a game & whether I liked the game by each of the titles at the top of each page. I imagine that most kids 12 & up could play most of the games listed above with parental instruction. I like to play easy games just to relax. My little old 90 year old grandmother used to play Solitaire every night, & I feel close to her when I play.
