Its massive popularity can be traced back to its inclusion in Microsoft’s Windows 3.0 in 1990. Its origins are uncertain, but it is likely to have first appeared during the gold rush, in the 19th century, in the region of Klondike in Canada, from where it derives its name. So much so, that when used alone the term “Solitaire” usually refers to this game. Klondike is the most popular version of Solitaire. Nevertheless, their tiny differences make them unique and challenging on their own accord. The most popular types of Solitaire games share many similarities, especially because they are all designed to be played by only one player (thus the term Solitaire). However, several other versions are now competing for that top spot. After all, it was the first to trigger the massive popularity of this type of card games after its inclusion in Microsoft’s software in the early 90s. Klondike is still the most popular version of the game. In reality, there are several types of Solitaire games.
