“Patience's design flaw became obvious for the first time in my life: the outcome is decided not during the course of play but when the cards are shuffled, before the game even begins. How pointless is that?” David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

One of the first card games I learned was Solitaire also known as Klondike, my grandmothers both played it to pass the time and challenge themselves and others in our family.  The history of Solitaire is so cool and definitely worth a look, listen and play a few of the over 300+ version of Patience or Solitaire!
