Idiot's Delight (solitaire)

Idiot's Delight (solitaire)

Idiot's Delight is an alternative name for at least three solitaire card games, probably because of the low chances of winning in these games.

* Aces Up
* King Albert
* Perpetual Motion — in this case, even if the player wins this game very often, it takes a lengthy amount of time to do so.
