The free solitaire game is a timeless classic that refuses to die. Despite the fact that Microsoft decided to remove it from Windows, there are many users who usually play a few games to relax.
How could it be otherwise, this classic game is also available for mobile devices and tablets, both on Android and iOS. If you want to know the best free solitaire games available in the Play Store and the App Store, I invite you to continue reading.
The first thing we should know about this card game is that it has different modalities. The most popular and well-known throughout the world is the one that included Windows called Klondike.
In this modality, our objective is to group the cards by suit and in numerical order all the board cards. Depending on the difficulty we want, we can draw one or three cards per roll.
Other solitaire modalities, somewhat more complicated, if the Klondike modality is very easy for you, are Spider, TriPeaks, FreeCell, Pyramid...
Google Doodle (all platforms)
Being a video game classic, like Pac Man, the solitaire has its own Doodle, which we can access from the following link. Being a Doodle, there is no need to install any application, we just have to use the browser we have installed (as long as it is compatible with HTML 5).
Microsoft Solitaire Collection (iOS and Android)
Microsoft Solitaire Collection is one of the most popular solitaire games for mobile phones and it inherits the aesthetics of the Windows version. In fact, it is a mobile port of the original classic with a large number of additional features.
It allows us to play normal solitaire, called Klondike, FreeCell, Spider, TriPeaks y Pyramid. Each of these titles includes different customization options, both in terms of difficulty and aesthetics.
It includes a series of daily and weekly challenges that are also integrated with the Xbox Live profile. Includes advertisements and a system of monthly subscription to enjoy all games without ads.
