I was cleaning out a junk drawer and found a deck of cards. Nobody here is a big card player , but I started playing solitaire and it was kind of fun. I ran out of crossword puzzles, ( I hate doing them online ), and this was something different, at least for today. ♠️♦️♥️♣️

Play online and you won't have to shuffle and make those rows of cards just to start a game. It's all done for you ............in a blink of an eye.

HSN has an "Arcade" with all kinds of online (free) games (including solitaire)

I usually play the different Mahjongg games and the daily "Pennydell Wordsearch". You earn "tickets" each time you play, and can go to the "Rewards Store" and spend them as entries for drawings to try and win different items they have listed there. I haven't checked that out lately though. Reminds me I need to get in there and look LOL

Good reminder - I have been meaning to learn card games! I see in-laws in their 90's sharp as whips and they were always card players. Can't hurt!

@SeaMaiden , That's what makes the world go around. Now I've never done a jigsaw puzzle, and I notice they are becoming quite popular these days.

@QVCkitty1 I received an online order from Skechers about a week ago. They also sent me two gifts...a tote bag and a deck of cards.

I immediately opened up the deck and played solitaire for at least an hour. What a timely gift!

I think that it's mostly a Midwest card game, because whenever we are on vacation with friends and play it, most people haven't heard of it.

Oops! It's a fun game. We taught our kids to play euchre many years ago and also our two dgs's when they were quite young.

I played Solitaire online last night, really enjoy it. When I don't feel like watching anything on TV, am bored with everything else and it's too early to go to bed, I suddenly remember...Solitaire,and go for it. Lindsay has become good at it and we play against one another to see who wins the most games.

This awful virus has to end eventually so we can get back to normal living. Be safe, stay healthy.

I like Microsoft Solitaire that came installed on my computer. I like how you can set it to various levels of difficulty. You're really playing against the computer. And I like when I win I get the little cards flying away, or exploding like fireworks, and sorting themselves into their respective suits. I've been quite hooked on it at various times in the past. Haven't played since last fall. I was getting "mouse" elbow.

@Happy2BHere Thanks for the info on the Arcade on HSN. I was not aware of it. I have been playing various Solitare games on my computer constantly since this stay at home situation. I went to the Arcade when I read your post and started playing Candy Marjoghn (spelling). Will be visiting that site often I think.

I love to play double pinochle. Our famiy played at home when I was young. When I retire, I'm going to the senior center. They have a pinochle group there. I think they also have Canasta. That was my favorite game years ago.
