This game's title is 100% accurate. This is all solitaire games, like you would play with a deck (or more) of regular playing cards. There's tons and tons of them. I didn't play them all but I played a few really interesting (to me) ones. I thought it was neat how they're all grouped into "families". I'm curious as to how this was all put together. My first thought is that someone bought a book of solitaire card games and then just implemented them all? So, the groupings (families) would have come from chapters in the books? I think the game's a really great resource - and it would definitely keep you "busy" for...ever? There's just so many variations...I'm still kind of stunned. Also, to make it even more interesting there's a "rating" system that covers how much luck matters, how long they take to play (e.g. is this a mostly skill solitaire?) which is really useful as well.
