Why I built trySolitaire.com

I loved playing the classic games that shipped with Windows XP. Be it minesweeper, spider solitaire, free cell or classic solitaire.

When I searched online to relive the experience, I noticed that there were a bunch of sites running intrusive ads, with old outdated gaming experiences, running daily challenges, leader boards etc. which were runing the playing experience for these classics.

I was disappointed with the gaming sites and wanted to build something clean which focused on the playing experience over ads, leaderboards, analytics, stealing private info etc. trySolitaire.com is the product of my disappointment with other solitaire sites and my humble attempt at providing the gaming community with the playing experience befitting a true classic.

I have built Klondike, spider solitaire, golf solitaire, pyramid solitaire, free cell, tripeaks solitaire so far and I am in the process of adding many more solitaire variants including, forty thieves, yukon solitaire, canfield solitaire, addiction etc.

Since, these games are usually played by the senior and young adult communities, I have also added 2048 and sudoku games to the website for added variety.

Given that users around the world love playing these classic games, especially card games, I have provided multiple card backs and face options to choose from including French, Spanish, Ornamental and Simple styled cards. My favorite are the Single styled cards which are soothing on the eyes. The Spanish cards are a close second followed by French cards.

My goal is to optimize these games and add new variants endlessly, keep them free forever and provide the best gaming experience for these games on the planet!
