About A Hand of Solitaire
Solitaire has kept countless afternoons company, a single deck, a flat surface, and a private logic all your own. The most familiar form, Klondike, arranges cards into seven cascading columns, drawing from the stock one patient flip at a time. Getting every card home to its foundation suit feels, every single time, like a small and satisfying victory.
