Playing Gard Games For One Player

[arjay]

Are there any playing card games for one player other than Solitaire?.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I would not be able to play bridge.
I have laptop with Windows 8.1 installed.
Thank you

There are loads of card games for 1 person. I used to have an entire book full of them. If you fancy investing in a couple of packs of playing cards you can find instructions for some of the better known ones here:

(If you don't understand any of the instructions, simply google for the name of the game - together with 'card game' - to find alernative explanations).

If you've got $24.99 (about £17.60) to spare though you can get 208 games in one package for your laptop here:

there are different sorts of solitaire. I have free versuions of Spider Solitaire and Free Cell installed as well as regular solitaire, which I used to call Patience.

I used to play at least 8 different card games for 1 player and like Chris got them from a book. That was with a pack of cards though - do you mean on your computer? If so Microsoft Solitaire collection has again several card games - freecell, spider solitaire, normal solitaire, Hearts and several others.

If you'd prefer to install software onto your laptop (rather than play online), take a look here:

[Some of those games require Windows 10 but there are still plenty which can run on Windows 8.1]

I have installed this collection of Windows 7 card games on many Win 8 and Win 10 machines - all free and all working fine - enjoy!
