As a gamer, however, I don’t really understand the appeal of a deck that you know gives you a solvable deck, particularly if you keep in mind that theoretically, at least, 79% of games are winnable. “Easy” isn’t easy enough? You can choose “draw 1” as the type of Klondike you want to play (note that’s specified at the top of the window and that the default game is “draw 3”, as is specified). You can see that you can choose between a random deck or various types of solvable decks. In any case, click on “Klondike” to get started and here’s what you’ll see: The first time you launch it you might get a message that it needs to download some data - which is cool, it means that by default Windows 10 doesn’t take up valuable disk space with a game that people might not play - but once it is downloaded, you’ll get this as the main screen of the program forevermore:Īs I said earlier, the real classic solitaire game goes by the name of Klondike, though there’s no clear reason why that’s the case other than some romantic stories about Alaskan gold miners that’s probably untrue. The new version of Solitaire goes by the more formal name of Microsoft Solitaire Collection and it’s easy to launch: just click the matching entry in the search results.
To start, simply do a search for “solitaire”: It is solitaire, so it’s not like you’d be cheating anyone other than yourself, but we’ll get back to that in a bit, okay? 🙂 Even better, you can now indicate that you only want “winning decks” of cards from which to play, letting the computer figure out how to quite literally stack the deck in your favor. Not only that, but you can choose between a number of major solitaire games, ranging from the traditional game Klondike to Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid and TriPeaks. It’s just gotten a major facelift and upgrade. So there’s definitely a copy of the Solitaire program on your Windows 10 system. Heck, as far back as 2008, researchers were stating that solitaire was “the most-used program in the Windows universe”. Heck, as you point out, lots of people play solitaire on their Windows computers. Your fear that Microsoft is no longer including Solitaire with the latest generation of Microsoft Windows is unfounded.
