Klondike Solitaire, the version of the game most people simply call "Solitaire," became a global phenomenon largely due to its inclusion in Microsoft Windows starting in 1990. However, its roots go back much further, likely originating in Europe during the late 18th century as a pastime for nobility. The name "Klondike" specifically is thought to come from the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 19th century, where prospectors in the Yukon allegedly played the game to pass the time during long, harsh winters. Similar card puzzle games, known collectively as "Patience" in the UK and "Solitaire" in the US, share this lineage of single-player strategy, offering a quiet mental challenge that has endured for centuries.
