Il lonely Microsoft keeps us company from the distant Windows 3.0, released by Microsoft over 25 years ago. The game was introduced with the desire to calm users struggling with the operating system, and with the use of the PC. With the release of Windows 95 the solitaire was joined by FreeCell. With the Microsoft Plus package of Windows 98 it made its appearance Spider, which has reached the peak of its success with the edition included in Windows XP.
Finally with Windows 8, Microsoft decided to eliminate all the games from the system and arrange them in a special Collection that can be downloaded for free from Windows Store. Two new solitaires have been added to the collection TriPeacks e Pyramind.

After this parenthesis on what is the story of the solitaire that many times at home, in the office, or in class has helped us to overcome many boring moments - so much so that even Google has decided to insert it in the search engine together with the trio - let's see how we can play Microsoft's solitaire on android and ios.
La Microsoft Solitaire Collection has landed on the most popular mobile platforms, after having been downloaded 120 million times on the company's desktop and mobile platforms. To continue this success story, all that remained was to make these games officially arrive on the platforms that share 95% of the mobile market, those based on Android and iOS systems.
La Microsoft Solitaire Collection is the perfect port of the one available for Windows and Windows mobile, and includes 5 solitaires:
- Klondike or the revised version of the classic Microsoft solitaire, where to win you have to remove all the cards from the table with the one or three card system.
- Spider is my favorite solitaire, with its eight columns of cards to be removed through as few moves as possible.
- FreeCell is the advanced version of solitaire where you can and must use the four extra cells available to move the cards with the aim of clearing the table in the fewest possible moves.
- TriPeaks is the first solitaire introduced with the launch of the Collection, in this game you have to clear the table by earning points by selecting the cards in ascending or descending sequence.
- Pyramid is the second new solitaire introduced in the Collection, in this the aim is to reach the top of the pyramid by combining two cards that have the sum of 13 to remove them from the table.
In addition, many elements have been added in the Microsoft Solitaire Collection to further extend its longevity:
