Since Windows 3.0 was released in 1990, a free version of solitaire has been included in the Windows operating system. In fact, it was once the most widely used application for Windows.
Windows 10 comes with a collection of versions of Solitaire, but it doesn’t come pre-installed. If you’re nostalgic for the virtual card game, you can get classic solitaire for Windows 10. Knowing where to look is key.
Solitaire is actually a name that refers to any card game played by one person with one deck of cards. Classic solitaire is a specific version, also known as Klondike.
In classic solitaire, 28 cards are dealt face down in seven columns with one card in the first column, two in the second, and so on, up to seven cards in the seventh column. The last card in each column is turned face up and play begins with the player turning over three cards from the top of the remaining deck. The top card of the three is used to build on the columns, if possible.
