[Open.ogc] The addictive card game of solitaire not only helps train your mind, but is also a great way to unwind

[Jacob Freeman]

Solitaire is a popular card game in which the player arranges the cards in
a certain order with the goal of removing them all from the playing field.
Although solitaire can be played with a regular deck of cards, there are
many variations of this game, each with its own rules, unique style and
level of difficulty.

In the past, these games used to boil down to shuffling and laying out
actual cards. But now, thanks to technology, we have a whole new solitaire
platform available on computers and smartphones that can be played anywhere
and anytime!

There are a variety of types of solitaire games, each with its own unique
rules and characteristics. Here are a few well-known varieties:

1. "Slash" - http://sdelayhod.ru/patiences/sol/, in this version of the
game, the cards are also stacked in four stacks by suits, from the ace to
the king, using free cells for storing cards.
2. "Spider" - in this version of solitaire, the player must stack the cards
by suit in reverse order, from king to ace.
3. "Free Cell" - here the player must arrange the cards in four stacks by
suits, from king to ace, using free cells for temporary storage of cards.
4. "Pyramid" - in this version, the player must collect pairs of cards,
starting with the top card of the pyramid and removing them in descending
order.
5. "Klondike" is a classic solitaire game where the player must arrange the
cards in four stacks by suit, starting with the ace and ending with the
king.
6. "Scorpion" - in this version of the game, the player must arrange all
the cards in four stacks of suits, from Ace to King, using free cells for
temporary storage of cards.

Solitaire is not only a fun game but also a useful activity for the
following reasons:

1. Variety: There is something for everyone. From the classic Klondike to
interesting variants like Spider, FreeCell and Pyramid. Each version is
different and offers its own exciting challenges.
2. Stress Relief: Solitaire is not just a game, but a way to relax after a
stressful day.
3. Mind Training: Playing solitaire not only relaxes you, but also trains
your brain. It is mental gymnastics that develops your strategic thinking,
ability to plan and make important decisions.
4. Accessibility: One of the advantages of solitaire is its accessibility.
You don't need anything other than a deck of cards or a gadget. Play on
your computer, tablet or phone - whenever you want.
5. Personal Challenge: Solitaire is a game with yourself where everyone
wants to beat your previous score. This takes the satisfaction of the game
to the next level and allows you to measure your growth and progress.
6. A pastime for all occasions: Solitaire is the perfect pastime for any
situation. From waiting in line to taking a break at work, it is great to
help pass your free time by keeping your brain working and having fun.

In this way, solitaire is not only entertaining, but also beneficial,
developing mental skills and helping you relax after a hard day.

If you haven't tried playing solitaire yet, I recommend you to give it a
try. It is an interesting and useful game that can be a great way to spend
your free time.
