Getting introduced to video games in the 90s is personally a transformative phase for me. I remember looking forward to playing video games after school for fun and relaxation. Now that I’m in my 30s, I’m also grateful that I can play any game that I want whenever I go online.
Tetris, Minesweeper, Solitaire — I used to have these games installed on my PC eons ago. I’m currently into retro games (hello Stardew Valley, my ultimate fave!) and I often go to Solitaire.org to play old school card games.
Solitaire.org have a list of Solitaire card games such as Freecell, Spider, Pyramid, Tripeaks, Golf, and my favorite, Klondike — the classic solitaire.
I was happy to discover that their website does not only offer card games. They also have mahjong (I never learned how to play this but one of these days I’ll try!), hidden object games , match 3 games (ball shooters and Candy Crush-inspired games!), other card games (gin rummy, crazy eights, euchre, hearts, etc). They also have other fun online games, similar to Pac-Man and Scrabble.
Here are my top 3 games on Solitaire.org. Enjoy!
Classic Solitaire
For those of you who haven’t played solitaire yet, like ever in your life, there’s a complete guide on their website so you won’t have to worry about whether you’re playing it wrong if you’re just a beginner. Below the game guide is a long list of all their card games that you can choose from.
Hidden Objects Game: Hidden Kitchen
As a blogger/writer, I don’t always enjoy writing. In fact, I get those occasional writer’s block and when I do, I play Hidden Objects games to help me regain my focus. It’s really fun to do some item hunting! My favorite themes are the Kitchen and the Garden.
Treasures of Atlantis Match 3 Game
If you’re like me who has an obsession with puzzle games and who has played endless hours of Candy Crush, Bejeweled, Homescapes.. I’m sure you’ll love Treasures of Atlantis! The goal of the game is to get all the puzzle pieces at the bottom, and you do that by eliminating the bubble obstacles.
Bonus — Sudoku! This game has been proven to improve memory skills. I spent a few good hours finishing a Sudoku book when I was in college, and up until now, this game never gets old. My son, who’s old enough to understand the rules of playing Sudoku, mentioned that the game helps him concentrate better.
Visit Solitaire.org and check out all the games! They’ve been expanding the game collection so make sure to check back from time to time. Happy gaming! 🙂
