	~~AKA~~ [[Solitaire]], ~~but since~~ Warhammer and D&D come first on this wiki, we'll go by ~~another common name for~~ the ~~game~~.		There are many, many, '''many''' games designed to be played by one player using a standard deck of cards, or [[mahjong]] tiles, or a [[tarot]] deck, or some other kind of deck of cards that doesn't have rules printed on them (e.g. [[/a/]] types may be familiar with Hanafuda, the elegant and beautiful Japanese cardset designed to prevent use by gamblers, [[Irony\|which is most commonly used by gamblers nowdays]]; well, there are Hanafuda solitaires); these are commonly known as "'''[[Solitaire]]'''" (French for "One Person", as all of these games only require one player) or "'''Patience'''" (because you only play this kind of game when you're bored). Since Warhammer and D&D come first on this wiki, we'll go by the latter.

			The usual method of play is, you shuffle and then deal out a deck of cards/tiles in a particular way, and move cards according to the given set of rules, until either you've moved all the cards to the '''Foundations''', or can make no further progress.

	~~Traditionally played by bored people who have a deck of cards and nobody to play with.~~		It's Very much a "normie" persuit, but also one that you can geek out to a surprising extent with, particularly once you get into "multiple deck" solitaires.

			In trading card games, certain deck types are derided as "solitaire" since the opponent's field state has minimal, if any, impact on your win beyond how fast you have to pull it off and the reverse is true of your opponent. One common example of this is Exodia decks in [[Yu-Gi-Oh]], where your opponent can't really interact with your game and it's just a contest to kill you before you draw all the needed cards. Outside of historical formats, even hand destruction isn't an option to provide interactivity since, even if it weren't a counter to a single deck type, the cheese of Delinquent Duo ensured future hand destruction options were comparatively limited and modern Exodia decks have recycling options ''anyways''. If Exodia wasn't so iconic this would have gotten it banned ages ago.
