The goal in these games is to sort a set of cards following some predefined rules. Most of them have one or more places for cards to be build in some order usually from the aces to the kings. And most of the Solitaires have one or more decks of cards, from which the player turns one or more (three) cards in a move, usually it is called stock. Some of the games have a temporary placeholders where cards can be placed following some numerical rules during the play. Some Solitaires introduce the wastepile - where a card can be placed when there is no move for it.
