- Solitaire or Klondike is a classic game that comes standard with most Windows-based computers. The object of the game is to clear all of the cards into four chronologically ordered decks. The base of the game is built into seven piles. The first pile features one card, the second features two, and each column adds one card until the final column has seven. The top card on each column is flipped face up. The remaining cards are dealt in threes, where the top card is in play and the other two can be played if the top one is removed. The object of the game is to match cards that have the same suit and are in order. For example, a player can drag a 7 of diamonds over an 8 of diamonds. Those two cards can be placed on top of a 10 of diamonds and so on. Each ace builds one of four final decks that cards must be placed into to complete the game.
- Freecell is also known as reverse solitaire. Eight columns of cards are made, all dealt face up. The first four columns feature seven cards while the last four feature six cards. In Freecell, players must match cards of opposite suits while still forming the matching suit columns starting with the ace. The game features four "Freecell" areas where extra cards can be placed to maneuver other cards around. For example, a Jack of diamonds would go on a Queen of spades, creating the red/black pattern.
- The goal of pyramid is to create totals that equal the number 13 and reach the pyramid peak. A game is dealt with the starting peak and dealt out until the bottom row features seven cards. A pyramid should have a total of 28 cards. The object of the game is to discard two cards that equal 13. A king is worth 13, a Queen is worth 12, a Jack 11, and the ace is worth 1. All of the other cards are face value. Only free cards can be played and the remaining cards in the deck are dealt out one at a time. If a new card is dealt, the card goes over the other dealt card and that can only be used if uncovered again. The game ends when the pyramid is reached or no more moves remain.
- Play a game of blackjack against a fake dealer to try and win. Deal two cards to yourself and two to the "dealer" while only revealing one dealer card. The object of the game is to add up to 21 without going over. Aces are worth 1 or 11 depending on how it benefits your hand the most. "Hit" on your hand to add an extra card, "stand" to stop dealing cards, or "split" the hand if you are dealt matching cards. After your hand is completed, see if the dealer has won. Hit the dealer's cards if they are below 17. If they have 17 or more, the dealer automatically stays.
- "High or low" is a quick card game that requires little table space or time. Flip the first card of the deck. Guess whether the next card will be higher or lower. Flip the new card, and if you are correct, continue the game by guessing whether the next card is higher or lower than the previous one. See how many you can get correct in a row.
