Various game modes

As we said before, we will have various game options in addition to the classic solitaire.

Klondike. This is the version that is popularly called solitaire. The objective is none other than to clear all the cards from the table by drawing one or three cards with traditional or Vegas scoring.

Spider. We are faced with eight columns of cards, and we are challenged to clear them with the least number of moves. One of the tips they give us from the game is to start using a single suit, and then try two or four to improve.

FreeCell. We will have four additional cells to move the cards in our goal of clearing the table. This is a more strategic game mode than the Klondike version. Those who go beyond a play will also be rewarded.

TriPeaks. We will select cards in sequence, up or down, the idea is to get points and clear the board. This way we will see how many boards we clear before exhausting the distributions.

Pyramid. We will have to pair two cards that add up to 13 to remove them from the board and reach the top of the pyramid.
