Included games

Game Difficulties

In Microsoft Solitaire Collection players can choose the difficulty of their games. This is especially useful in games such as 4 Suits Spider Solitaire, which are already quite difficult when playing in easier modes.

Daily Challenges

Each day, there is a new challenge for each of the five games. These challenges are guaranteed to be solvable, and often consist of completing a game partly. The type of challenges are Card Challenge (e.g. play two Sevens to the foundation), Score Challenge (e.g. Earn a score of 750), Board Challenge (e.g. clear two boards in 1 deal), or Solve Challenge (e.g. solve the deck). Each challenge has an associated difficulty (Easy, Medium or Hard). For each completed challenge you will earn coins. When completing a certain number of challenges in a month, you will receive badges!

Star Club

The Star Club features more challenges. The challenges are arranged by game and in packs. You will earn stars by completing challenges, which you will need to unlock all challenges. Next to challenge packs linked to a specific game, there are also mixed collections which have challenges featuring all five games.

You can customise the look and feel of the Microsoft Solitaire Collection by picking your favourite theme. The currently available themes are Classic (simple and clean cards), Aquarium, Fable, Western, Beach, Autumn, and Jumbo (larger cards).

History

Microsoft Solitaire already exists for more than 30 years, but the first version of Microsoft Solitaire Collection was released on October 26, 2012. It was released on Windows 8 as a replacement for the solitaire games which were previously automatically bundled with Windows. In Windows 8 however, the solitaire games were not present anymore and users had to download the Microsoft Solitaire Collection from the Windows Store. Similar to how the original windows solitaire games were introduced to teach users how to drag and drop with a mouse, this time the Microsoft Solitaire Collection was used to introduce users to the Windows Store. The Windows 10 version was released on July 29, 2015. The iOS and Android versions were released on November 23, 2016.

More Microsoft games

In addition to the solitaire games made by Microsoft, we also have Microsoft Mahjong, Microsoft Sudoku and the classic Windows version of Minesweeper.

System requirements

Microsoft Solitaire Collection can be played in all modern browsers, on all device types (desktop, tablet, mobile), and on all operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, ...).
