Free as in anyone can use the code to make their own version, and free as in it costs nothing to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like using F-Droid, and I recommend it. It is not quite as convenient as Google Play. But I love using open-source applications, so I think the learning curve to use this app was worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"192\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/f_droid_icon.jpg\" alt=\"The F-Droid app icon.\" class=\"wp-image-2120\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/f_droid_icon.jpg 192w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/f_droid_icon-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Icon picture taken from the <a href=\"https:\/\/f-droid.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">F-Droid<\/a> website.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gameplay_Review\"><\/span>Gameplay Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Play_Solitaire\"><\/span>How to Play Solitaire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All variants of Solitaire are games of moving cards around, and the goal is to solve the deck in some way. But you probably know this already. Who has not played Solitaire or FreeCell at least once?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solitaire_Is_Everywhere\"><\/span>Solitaire Is Everywhere<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you somehow have gone your whole life without playing some version of Solitaire, then good news for you. You can find this game everywhere and anywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for this review, I am going to be focusing on this specific app. Simple Solitaire Collection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Probably_Have_Played_Klondike_Solitaire\"><\/span>You Probably Have Played Klondike Solitaire&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When most people say Solitaire, they probably mean the Klondike version. I did not know there were multiple variants of the game for the longest time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither did I know the game is also called Patience. It makes sense now why the KDE Desktop version of the game is called KPatience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Versions_of_Solitaire_I_Play_the_Most\"><\/span>The Versions of Solitaire I Play the Most<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The three versions I know the most and play often are Klondike, FreeCell, and Spider. I like FreeCell the most. I have played a little Pyramid in the past, but I don\u2019t like it as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Way_to_Play_Solitaire\"><\/span>17 Way to Play Solitaire!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple Solitaire Collection has 17 variants of the game!

You can also change options only for specific variants of Solitaire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game also a manual to help you learn to play.

You can also switch to different decks of cards and use a four color deck if you wish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game looks good enough for a card game. The sounds are very basic.
