Solitaire,
in good company.
Remember Solitaire? A quiet table, a deck of cards, and the small joy of the last king going home. Now you can share it. Start a game from FaceTime or Messages and play one table together, or race each other on the same deal. Across the room, or across the country.

One table. Three ways to share it.
Solitaire has always been a quiet game. It turns out it's even better with someone to share the quiet with. Call your sister, deal one hand, and talk it through. Or deal the same cards to everyone, and race. Or take a deck each for Double Solitaire. When the game ends, Rematch is one tap.
One tap, and they're in
Start a deal from FaceTime or Messages. Your friend taps once and sits down. No accounts. No codes. No setup. Hosting is free, and joining is free.
Together, a race, or Double
Play one table together, up to four of you, sharing every move and a single undo. Race on the same deal, each on your own table. Or play Double Solitaire, two of you with a deck each and the foundations shared.
See how the race is going
Racing, you see how many cards each friend has home, and who finished first. Never their moves, so nobody gets a free peek. Tonight's standings are on the end panel, and one tap deals the next game.
Only the people you know
No strangers. No chat rooms. No public tables. Your game travels through Apple, never through us. The group you played with is kept on your device, so next time you can deal them in again. Each friend gets a seat color beside their name.
Calm, clear and entirely yours
Large, crisp cards. Nothing moves unless you move it.
How Solitaire plays
Klondike, the one most people mean by solitaire: put every card in order, one move at a time, with the classic rules and scoring. With friends, you share the table, race to the finish, or play Double. Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, TriPeaks and Yukon are planned.
The deal
Cards laid out on the table, most of them face down, and a pile to draw from, one card or three. Every deal can be won: our computer proves it before you see a card. Pick a level, Easy to Expert.
Your move
Tap a card and it goes to its best place, or drag it where you want. Each move frees the cards underneath. Undo as far back as you like, always free.
The finish
Every card home, ace to king, in its own suit. Then you deal again.

Five things we'll never compromise
Every game we make has to pass the same five tests. Here's how Solitaire passes them.
Easy, from the first card
Tap a card and it goes where it should. A near miss lands where you meant. A free hint every deal shows one useful move. And we say there are no moves left only when it's certain, and offer Finish when the game is certainly won.
Clean and calm
No pop-ups. No ads between deals, ever. Nothing moves unless you move it. A timer is there only if you turn it on. Just the cards, and all the time you want.
Private. Completely.
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. On your own, it works offline and nothing leaves your device. With friends, your game travels through Apple, never through us.
Beautiful
Deep green felt, lit like a real table. Large cards you can read at a glance. Every detail made by hand, because the people you play with deserve it. Choose your table and your deck in Settings.
Fun, and fair
Four levels, Easy to Expert, every deal one our computer has already won. Each deal is numbered so you can play it again. Vegas scoring is there if you like it, in points, never a bet.
Solitaire, played your way
Solitaire works with VoiceOver, the largest text sizes and more, in five languages, and it doesn't look like a special edition.
VoiceOver throughout
Every card is announced by rank and suit, every move is spoken, and an action lists the moves you can make.
Five languages
English, Spanish, German, French and Chinese, chosen with one tap on the title screen.
Large cards
One switch makes the cards bigger, and Dynamic Type works everywhere else, up to the largest sizes.
Four-color deck
A high-contrast deck where every suit has its own color and its own shape. Never color alone.
Left-handed mode
Move the main buttons to the left side of the screen.
Reduce Motion
With Reduce Motion on, cards fade gently into place instead of flying.
Free to play. Free to play together.
The game is free, and so is every deal with friends, hosting and joining. Pro is one optional purchase for players who want more. Nothing to renew. Nothing to remove.

Forever. Not a trial.

Good to know
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Start from FaceTime or Messages with SharePlay, or through Game Center, up to four of you. Play one deal together, sharing every move, or race on the same deal and see who finishes first. Always free, with no accounts and no servers of ours.
Can my friends and I play the same deal?
Yes. Race, and everyone gets the same deal on their own table, seeing how many cards the others have home, never their moves.
What is Double Solitaire?
A game for two. Each of you plays your own deck and layout at the same time, building on eight foundations you share. It ends when one of you has all 52 cards home, or when neither of you can move, and the most cards home wins.
Does my friend need Pro?
No. Your friend needs Solitaire, which is free, and one tap. Never Pro, never an account, never a sign-in.
Where can I get Solitaire?
On the App Store, for iPhone and iPad.
How much does it cost?
Nothing, unless you want Pro. Solitaire is free to download and free to play, forever, on your own or with friends. Pro is an optional one-time purchase, and you'll find its price on the App Store.
Are the shuffles really random?
Yes. Every deal has a number, so you can play it again, and every deal is one our computer has already won, at the level you pick, Easy to Expert.
Do I need an internet connection or an account?
Never an account. Playing on your own works fully offline, and your games and stats stay on your device. Playing with friends far away needs a connection, and that's all it needs.
Will there be other solitaire games?
Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, TriPeaks and Yukon are planned.
Which languages does it speak?
English, Spanish, German, French and Chinese. Pick one with the flags at the top of the title screen.
Will it come to Android?
Yes, that's the plan. The whole collection comes to Android after the iPhone and iPad apps.
How do hints work?
Every deal includes one free hint, which highlights a useful move and says why. Pro adds more hints in the same deal, and “Solve from here”, which finds a way to win from where you are, or tells you honestly when it couldn't. The free hint comes back with every deal. You never wait for it.
Will it work on my iPad? What about Mac?
Solitaire is designed for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape. A Mac version is under consideration.
