What is Solitaire?
Looking for a solitaire game that works without Wi-Fi and lets you use your own photos as the backdrop? Solitaire is a Klondike solitaire card game that focuses on classic rules with offline play and visual customization. You arrange a 52-card deck across seven tableau piles and four foundation piles, building suits from Ace to King.
The game offers Draw 1 mode for casual sessions and Draw 3 for tougher puzzles. Vegas mode is available if you want scoring that mimics casino rules. You can tap cards to move them automatically or drag them manually, and the interface supports both portrait and landscape orientations. Smart hints flag useful moves when you're stuck, and Auto-Complete wraps up a solved game without forcing you to place every last card. Left-handed and right-handed layouts adapt the interface to how you hold your phone.
Key Features:
- Draw 1 deals one card at a time for easier wins, while Draw 3 cycles through the deck in groups of three for a steeper challenge.
- Vegas mode applies casino-style scoring, so you can track wins and losses the way the tables do.
- You can replace the game's backdrop with any photo from your library, and the same goes for card backs – 31 card designs and 14 app backgrounds ship with the game, or you load your own.
- Smart hints highlight moves you might have missed, and unlimited undo lets you backtrack without penalty.
- The game runs offline, so you can play during a commute or anywhere without cell service.
Solitaire customization options
The photo import covers both the play area and the card backs, so you can theme the entire table around your own images. The game stores those choices locally, and you can swap them out whenever the aesthetic gets stale. Both landscape and portrait modes render your custom backdrop without cropping or stretching.
Other Klondike solitaire games

Solitaire by MobilityWare sticks to standard Klondike rules with a cleaner interface and daily challenges that stay within one game type. Solitaire keeps the focus on Klondike alone but adds Vegas scoring and deeper visual customization through the photo library.
This suits anyone who wants a no-frills Klondike game that works offline and doesn't require an internet connection to start a new deal. The game is free with ads and in-app purchases at $1.99, so expect banner spots unless you pay to remove them.
