Best Intermediate One-Deck Games

Intermediate-difficulty picks among one-deck games.

  1. Klondike (Draw Three)

    The stricter Klondike variant: the stock deals three cards at a time, and only the top card is playable.

    • One deck
    • 12 min
    • Intermediate

  2. FreeCell

    Nearly every deal is winnable with the right plan — four free cells give just enough room to maneuver every card into place.

    • One deck
    • 15 min
    • Intermediate

  3. Yukon

    No stock at all, and any face-up card moves together with everything piled on top of it, however disordered.

    • One deck
    • 15 min
    • Intermediate

  4. Westcliff

    Three rows of seven and one pass through the stock, but any card at all may take an empty column.

    • One deck
    • 9 min
    • Intermediate

  5. Easthaven

    A Westcliff variant that deals a fresh row across every column when you stall, and admits only Kings to a space.

    • One deck
    • 10 min
    • Intermediate

  6. Gate

    Eight tableau piles between two five-card gateposts that refill any space you open.

    • One deck
    • 10 min
    • Intermediate

  7. Little Spider

    Eight piles in two rows, with two Aces built up and two Kings built down — unrelated to Spider despite the name.

    • One deck
    • 10 min
    • Intermediate

  8. Nestor

    Remove pairs of matching rank from across the tableau columns until none remain.

    • One deck
    • 10 min
    • Intermediate

  9. Quadrille

    The Fives build down to Kings and the Sixes build up to Jacks, closing a ring around the four Queens.

    • One deck
    • 10 min
    • Intermediate

  10. Beleaguered Castle

    All four Aces start face-up as foundations, surrounded by eight columns you must whittle down with no redeals.
