Solitaire is not only one of the oldest card games, but also one of the oldest games on computers, so much so that since the first versions of Windows (from Windows 3.0 in 1990), Microsoft has always included a collection of solitaires, which they necessarily became the first game to try. The " Microsoft Solitaire Collection " then became one of the most played multiplayer games on Windows 10.
Given the extraordinary success, the collection of Microsoft solitaires has now been released also for Android smartphones and tablets as well as for iPhone and iPad, becoming a new alternative for solitaire enthusiasts, who certainly do not miss the apps with which to try and challenge each other.
In addition to the solitaires offered by Microsoft there are also other solitaires to install, so you never stop having fun.
Let's see together the best free solitaires that we can install on our mobile device.

1) Microsoft Solitaire Collection
Microsoft Solitaire can be downloaded for free for Android and iOS and also includes a premium subscription plan to remove advertising.
The game collection includes 5 solitaires :
- Klondike, the most classic solitaire, where you start with several columns of cards to be grouped in the numerical sequence.
- Spider, the solitaire with eight columns, where the stairs from King to Ace must be sorted in descending order in the least number of moves possible.
- Freecell, strategic game with four cells to move the cards to form a ladder for a suit of cards, grouping them in the boxes at the top of the screen.
- Tripeaks, where you have to eliminate the cards arranged in three small pyramids.
- Pyramid, where instead the framework of cards consists of a single large pyramid.
The games allow you to play alone (as a good solitaire!) But also offer the possibility to access through the Microsoft account to the online platform to challenge friends or other people in the world, so you can see who is better at the various solitaire games. .
