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.

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.
