Pyramid Solitaire, also known as Solitaire 13 and Pile of 28, has very simple rules and takes just a few minutes to play each hand.
3. Canfield Solitaire
The real Canfield Solitaire (as opposed to Klondike, which is often referred to as Canfield), according to Hoyle's Rules of Games, was named after the proprietor of a Florida gambling establishment in the 1890s. Players could buy a deck of cards for $50 and win back $5 for each card they played onto a foundation, or $500 if they were able to play all 52 cards.
4. Golf Solitaire

The card game Golf Solitaire derives its name from the fact that the lower you score, the better you've done. Apart from that, it has no connection to the real game of golf.
5. Yukon Solitaire
