Blackjack asks you to make decisions with incomplete information. You know your own cards and one of the dealer's, but you still have to decide whether to hit, stand, double or split.
FreeCell and Solitaire reward planning ahead. Moving the first card you can isn't always the best choice if it blocks a more useful move later.
Crazy Eights and War remind you that sometimes the cards simply don't cooperate. Make the most of the hand you're dealt and hope Marty isn't holding the card you don't want to see.
Some of the earliest references to playing cards come from China, where card-like games were being played centuries before the familiar European deck appeared.
Playing cards were established in Europe by the late 14th century. Early European decks didn't all use the familiar hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades we recognize today.
The familiar 52-card deck developed over time rather than being invented all at once. Early cards were hand painted and used for gambling and games.
