Could you play solitaire as a mental excercise?

I think you could work it out to where you could play alone. Not sure how fun it would be but it could do some brain stimulation.

You might could use the cards as a match game of some kind, but otherwise I don't think it would work for solitaire.

The only problem is that as the game progresses, you will have 11 cards in your hand. If you can manage that with the tray tables it would work. Remember that you also have a stack and discard pile. The game is really a lot of fun but changes a lot with the addition of each player.

Yes. Me and my mom - in - law still love to play it even with just two of us. There are two player rules where you each pick 2 actions. I like using these rules cause it allows you to do more each round.

It depends on the skill level of the person. In general if you are able to read the cards and can form basic strategy in your head you should do well. I know someone as young as 11 playing but again it depends on what games they have experience with.

Kings In the Corner is almost Solitaire except that there is more than one player. It is simple; I play it with my granddaughters, ages 7 to 14. The trick is to be alert to opportunities for matching the cards. It is definitely low stress for adults, great if you want something simple while you snack and enjoy conversation. You play several rounds to get enough points to win. Good luck!

It is comparable to getting a tattoo, IMO. But you can control the intensity somewhat by changing the setting. Also, you can take breaks and go at your own pace, etc.

You definitely can! You're just racing your own brain instead of others. You can play one-player versions on their website: http://www.setgame.com/set/daily_puzzle or through the NY Times website as well.

Never tried it with just one, but I'd bet it would work; you might have to adjust the number of cards you get per hand until you get to a point where you feel it is "balanced" (probably one more card per hand than two-person game)

sorry, I don't remember; I just played solitaire and I no longer use the Hoyle card games

Not without some help. An adult played with our grand daughter [5] and helped read the cards and it worked well and served as a good introduction to this terrific game that teaches connections between concepts and words.

Spider and Spiderette are listed in solitaire games. That is the only information that I found as I am not a solitaire player.

The game plays very differently with 2 players from how it does with 3-5, but it's still fascinating. My wife and I are often able to win it. You don't get the complexity of thinking about what multiple people can see and remember, but you still have the turn management and planning-ahead affecting your actions the same way.

I would play the same way as you play with tiles, just there is no wall, perhaps just use the rest of the deck. Take out any cards that don't apply to American, just like you have to remove nonapplicable tiles from most tile sets. I taught myself American Mah Jongg from a book and use the cards to practice when I'm on a trip and don't feel like lugging the whole tile game with me. Never tried it with four people but I think if you improvise a bit it should work the same

Yes of course, this game is not as simple as it looks; it definitely requires the ability of developing strategies and calculating possibilities. It is absolutely suitable for adults and bright kids.

Sure. It's not as enjoyable as with more players. But two would be fine. (You could actually do it as solitaire, I would think. See how many turns it takes you until you get to X number. Then, try to do it in fewer turns.) But it's really a social game, and as such, more people = more fun.

Patricia, Mega solitaire does not have a timer. It does store the high score. Kent

None. I play Spider Solitaire and like it a lot. I occasionally play Freecell haven't tried any of the others yet.
