Hope you will enjoy this collection and have fun. There may be many variations on a specific game, and feel free to add your own game or variation if you have something to contribute. However, we have also decided included a guide about computer implementations. Whilst there are many software packages for playing different solitaire games for computers running operating system such as Windows, Mac OS and Linux and for phones and tablets like iPads and Android devices, as well as free online solitaire games, this book is primarily designed for playing with physical cards. We decided to list the alternative names, space required, difficulty, time to complete for each game wherever appropriate, as well as including some interesting facts about each game. We are aiming towards an easy-to understand format for anyone either familiar or unfamiliar with the topic. For this project we have aimed to include as many games as we can. So have I, I have read many a book on these delightful pastime games and I have decided to start a Wikibooks project. If you are reading this, chances are that you have read other books on solitaire or patience games or have played lots of them. This is what I want this book's ultimate goal to be. Note:The book is incomplete so please ignore most of what is said in here.
