List of patience games
This is a list of patiences, which are card games that are also referred to as solitaires or as card solitaire.
Klondike (solitaire) is a card game for one player and the best known and most popular version of the patience or solitaire family,[1] as well as one of the most challenging in widespread play.[2]
This list is not intended to be exhaustive, but only includes games that have met the usual Wikipedia requirements (e.g. notability). Additions should only be made if there is an existing entry on Wikipedia that they can be linked to. To avoid duplicate pages being created, alternative titles and the names of variants are listed separately (except titles that include little more than the name of the parent game).
Games of the patience genre played by more than one player are marked with a plus (+) sign.
