The Star Club offers more puzzles, though many are locked until you have earned enough stars by completing simpler levels.Ī new feature is the ability to compete in large timed Events, which are large multiplayer competitions. The Daily Challenges provide one challenge per card game per day (for a total of five challenges per day), and you'll receive medals and achievements as you complete them. In addition to these classic games, there are also special challenges to test out your skills. These other three games are also fairly popular (at least among card game fans), so you're not going to be wandering in uncharted territory.

Both Klondike and FreeCell are included in the Microsoft Solitaire Collection, along with Spider, Pyramid and Tripeaks. Many people aren't aware that the card game played in "Windows Solitaire" is a real card game known as Klondike. Most people are familiar with "Windows Solitaire" and FreeCell, the two most common solitaire games that came with Windows. In fact, it wasn't that long ago that you'd need to pay more than $10 for a game with this many features. However, the choice to offer the solitaire games separately seems to have been made for a reason: the Microsoft Solitaire Collection is far superior to the original "sol.exe". This changed with newer versions of the operating system, which understandably made a lot of people rather angry.

For most of computing history, Windows has come with at least one solitaire game.
