About The Full Deck

The Full Deck is a free collection of classic card games — Solitaire, FreeCell, Spider, Pyramid and more — made to be comfortable to play. The cards are big and clearly printed, nothing is timed, and you can undo as many moves as you like.

What we believe

• Big and clear beats small and clever. Every card, button and word is sized to be read without leaning in.
• No pressure. There are no timers, no scores to chase and no penalties. Play at your own pace; the game will wait.
• Nothing to sign up for. No accounts, no passwords, no app to install. Open the page and play.
• Playable without a mouse. Tab puts a cursor on the table, the arrow keys move it, and Enter picks a card up and puts it down. Every card and pile has a spoken name, and the game says what happened after each move.
• You make the moves. Tap a card to pick it up, then tap where it should go — or drag it. The game shows where a card can go, but never moves it for you. If a deal truly cannot be finished, it says so instead of leaving you guessing.

Who makes it

The Full Deck is made by a small independent team in Iceland. It is free to play and will stay free; the plan is to pay for it with a few calm, clearly separated advertisements that never sit on top of the cards.

The games

Solitaire (Klondike), FreeCell, Spider, Pyramid, Golf, TriPeaks, Yukon, Forty Thieves, Aces Up and Canfield. More classics are on the way.

Credits

The traditional card faces are based on the public-domain (CC0) deck by Adrian Kennard (me.uk/cards). The large-number faces, used when the cards are small, are our own, drawn with Atkinson Hyperlegible — the typeface the Braille Institute made for low vision. The game engine began as SolitaireLib (MIT licence). Text is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible and Fraunces.
