## Games

- [Solitaire](https://taprusharcade.com/games/solitaire.md): Solitaire, also called Klondike, is a single-player card game played with a standard 52-card deck. You build four foundation piles by suit from Ace to King, using seven columns where cards stack in descending order and alternating colors.
- [Sudoku](https://taprusharcade.com/games/sudoku.md): Sudoku is a logic puzzle played on a 9×9 grid divided into nine 3×3 boxes. The goal is to fill every empty cell with a number from 1 to 9 so that each row, each column and each box contains every number exactly once. No arithmetic is needed, only reasoning.
- [Minesweeper](https://taprusharcade.com/games/minesweeper.md): Minesweeper is a single-player logic game played on a grid of hidden squares. Some squares hide mines, and every safe square you reveal shows how many mines touch it. You use those numbers to flag the mines and uncover every safe square without setting one off.
- [Mahjong Solitaire](https://taprusharcade.com/games/mahjong-solitaire.md): Mahjong Solitaire is a single-player tile-matching game played with mahjong tiles stacked in layers. You remove matching pairs of free tiles, meaning tiles with nothing on top and an open left or right side, until the whole stack is cleared. It uses the tiles of the four-player game Mahjong but none of its rules.
- [2048](https://taprusharcade.com/games/2048.md): 2048 is a sliding number puzzle on a 4×4 grid. Each move slides every tile in one direction, and two tiles with the same number merge into one tile with their sum. The goal is to build a tile worth 2048, then keep going for a higher score.
- [Snake](https://taprusharcade.com/games/snake.md): Snake is an arcade game in which you steer a growing snake around a walled board. Each piece of fruit you eat makes it longer and faster, and the run ends when the snake hits a wall or its own tail.

**Where to start:** For a minute or two, try Snake or Minesweeper on Beginner. For a longer, quieter game, Solitaire, Sudoku and Mahjong Solitaire usually take 5 to 20 minutes, and 2048 lasts as long as you can keep the board open.
