This update is primarily a visual refresh – a new layout should provide more space for the content, and better navigation to help you find the information you're looking for.

I have plans to substantially increase the selection of games on the site, but this information will take some time to add, so for now, I'm just going to say "stay tuned, the best is yet to come".

The Solitaire Games of Skill collection has the best card mechanics of any solitaire software. You can move cards by clicking on the place you want them to go. You can swap columns of cards in order to obtain sequences of the same suit. Nearly every game allows the player supermoves as in the FreeCell game.

The frustration of playing a game for a while only to find out that the game was never winnable in the first place is obviated here. In many instances, if the layout does not give you a chance of winning, it is thrown out!

With its 424 games the Solitaire Games of Skill collection is not as large as some collections but there are no filler games here. You will not have to sort through a half dozen games before you find an interesting game. Almost half the games of Solitaire Games of Skill are new games not to be found elsewhere.
