Sometimes, we all want to take a break from the masses of noisy shooters or large-scale, complex role-playing games. Often, players who are tired of AAA projects decide to look for something simpler but no less interesting. The Cardgames.io site gives them such an opportunity because, on its pages, there are a lot of well-known card games.

Having opened this small, neat site, the visitor gets access to four dozens of card and board games of different themes. There are both quiet Solitaire and competitive games. In this case, you will not have to play with other players, and you do not need to track your statistics in the general table. The site is extremely simple and is created only for its visitors to pass the time or relax without any fuss.

Euchre, Spades, Cribbage, Pinochle, Gin Rummy, Rummy, Hearts, Clock, Crazy Eights and Go Fish, Thirteen, Classic Solitaire, Pyramid, FreeCell, Spider - this is not a complete list of titles presented on the site. There are 35 games of different genres (puzzles, Solitaire, etc.) available for connoisseurs of such pastimes.

How to play Solitaire

The main field is divided into 4 columns, each with 13 slots (1 slot - 1 card). After 52 cards are dealt, each card is placed in a separate slot. Then, all aces are removed, after which four slots are vacated, and 48 cards are left.

Further, it is necessary to rearrange the cards in such a way that in each row, they are ordered (double, triple, and so on) and also have one suit. It does not matter which suit is in which row. The last slot in each row remains empty.

The empty slots created at the beginning of the game are the places from which the movement of cards begins. The latter is done according to certain rules: you can move a card only when to the left of it is a card of the same suit with a rank lower. For example, the Jack of Hearts can only be moved when there is a Ten of Hearts in the slot to its left.

Obviously, twos of the same suit are moved only if it is the leftmost slot in the row. If the neighbor of the slot on the left is a king, then no card can be placed in it. The same situation occurs if the neighboring slot is empty.

You can shuffle cards three times during the game. The cards placed in the right places remain in their positions during shuffling, which allows you to keep progress. There are several variants of the correct positioning:

  • a deuce from the left edge of the row;
  • a card of the same suit and a rank higher, which is on the right side of the correctly placed card.

All other cards can be shuffled and moved into the remaining slots for better combinations.
