Free Card Games Online

Solitaire is the card game you play alone, and each kind is its own small puzzle. The classic is Klondike Solitaire: Daily Deal: build columns down in alternating colors and move every card up to the foundations, drawing one card at a time or three. Spider Solitaire: Daily Deal deals two decks into ten columns and asks for complete runs from King down to Ace in one suit, with one, two or four suits to choose from. In FreeCell Solitaire: Daily Deal every card is face up from the start and four free cells give you room to plan, so skill decides almost every deal.

The other three are quicker. TriPeaks Solitaire: Daily Deal and Golf Solitaire: Daily Deal both have you play cards one rank above or below the card on the pile, chaining long streaks. TriPeaks spreads the cards over three peaks and Golf lays them out in seven columns. Pyramid Solitaire: Daily Deal is a little sum: remove pairs of free cards that add up to 13, and Kings go on their own.

In a trick-taking game each player puts down one card, and the highest card of the suit that was led wins the trick. Three of our games share that rule and take it in different directions. Hearts: Card Game is about losing tricks: every heart costs a point and the queen of spades costs 13, unless you take all of them and shoot the moon. Spades: Card Game is a partnership game where spades beat every other suit, and before each deal you and your computer partner bid how many tricks you will take.

Contract Bridge: Rubber Club is the deepest of the three. You sit South with a computer partner, bid with a simple natural system where every call is explained before you make it, then play the hand to make your contract and win the rubber.

Gin Rummy: Card Game is a drawing game rather than a trick game. Each turn you take a card from the deck or the discard pile and throw one away, building sets of the same rank and runs in one suit. Cards that fit nowhere are deadwood. Knock when your deadwood is 10 or less, or go gin with none at all for a bonus. The game sorts your melds and counts your deadwood, so you can think about what to keep and what the computer is collecting.

Each solitaire game here deals only games that can be won, so a lost game always had a way through, and each one has a daily deal that is the same for everyone. Hearts: Card Game, Spades: Card Game and Gin Rummy: Card Game have daily deals too, with the same cards and the same computer players for everyone that day. Daily scores go on the leaderboard, and you can play as many ordinary games as you like. In the table games you choose how strong the computer plays, from Easy to Hard, and none of the computer players ever looks at your cards.
