Solitaire for Kids Card game will provide countless hours of fun for whoever plays with it. A deck of cards is included in the box along with instructions for 10 different games. Klondike is the most recognized game of solitaire but there are numerous ways to play the game. The games are organized according to difficulty. The first few games -- Lucky 13, The Wish, and The Top Ten -- all deal with developing the addition skills of the individual player. This makes for a fun way to polish up on those math skills. 'Even Steven' has the cards being removed when two cards are added together and equal an even number. Many of the other games alternate colors when placing the cards in rank order.

The deck of cards looks slightly different than many of the playing cards on the market as they are very kid appealing. Two jokers and one card which can be amended any way complete the deck of cards.
