CardGames.io ranks first because it answers the brief most directly: free online solitaire, hearts, spades and more in one place, with nothing to install. Its menus list 37 card games across trick-taking games such as Hearts, Spades, Euchre, Bridge and Pinochle, everyday games such as Gin Rummy, Cribbage, Canasta and Crazy Eights, and 13 solitaire games including Klondike, Spider and FreeCell. The FAQ says there is no login and as few options as possible, which keeps the screens simple, and it states that deals are random and computer opponents only use what a human could see. Hearts and other games also have a multiplayer lobby for playing other people. The trade-offs come from that simplicity: each game uses one rule set, statistics live in your browser rather than an account, and the site carries advertising. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not play timed sessions.
