What you need: In this version of Solitaire, all you need is one player and a standard deck of playing cards.

How to play: Remove all of the twos, threes, fours, fives and sixes from the deck and shuffle. Deal eight cards in a row, face down. Continue dealing, adding cards to each pile until you have eight stacks of four cards each. Flip the piles over, making sure they are all stacked neatly so you can only see the top card.

The rules: Remove any pairs. Continue removing pairs until none remain.

How to win: You win the game if all the cards are removed.

What else you need to know: This is a good way to introduce your children to Solitaire.
