The first card game I learned to play is solitaire. I remember watching my auntie every afternoon playing and then one time asked me if I wanted to learn. She told me it's a simple game but very good for character and skill building. I played it the old fashion way back then using real cards. Thanks to technology, my favorite past-time game is now available online and for FREE.
Did you know that there are different versions of solitaire? The classic version is the simplest and most popularly played. But if you want to challenge your skill, Solitaire.org offers more than 50 versions that are browser-based. You don't need to download the games or sign-up and it doesn't have annoying ads to disrupt your gaming experience. Totally fuss-free and 100% fun!
Aside from card games, I'm also into logic puzzle games. A new discovery for me is the Hashi Bridge. The Japanese term hashi is short for Hashiwokakero, which means build bridges. The objective of the game is to connect the islands but the moves are only up, down, left, or right. There are four levels: 10x10 easy, 10x10 medium, 15x15 medium, and 15x15 hard.
I am still learning my way around the game. What I like about playing a new game is that it develops patience and the sense of accomplishment once you finish the level is very rewarding. Play Free Online Logic Games to exercise your brain. My other favorite games in this categories are Daily Same Game and Daily Maze.
