Solitaire games are the ideal pastime. All you need is a pack of cards and a clear space in front of you, and you can spend as much or as little time as you like playing some of the most intriguing games ever devised.

Here they are—more than 100 of the world’s best—with "instant play" illustrations for every game that will show you how each game works, and also notes on what to expect when you play it. Some of the card games are very simple, for quick entertainment. Others are complex and will challenge your powers of concentration and your card skills.

Try your hand at "Grandfather’s Clock", "Osmosis", "Intelligence" or "Forty Thieves", plus many other amusing ways to while the time away. They’re mesmerizing and compelling. You won’t be able to stop!
