Double Solitaire is a two-player variant on the best-known patience or solitaire card game called Klondike.[1] While it is mostly referred to as Double Solitaire,[2] it is sometimes called Double Klondike (a name which also doubles as an alternate designation of the single-player solitaire game Gargantua). Games with more players (Triple Solitaire, Quadruple Solitaire, etc.) are also possible.
As the name suggests, Double Klondike is a two-player game, and is played with two full packs of playing cards, minus the Jokers; for the purpose of Double Klondike, the cards should be of the same size, but each pack's cards should be distinguishable from the other packs in some way, such as a different font style on the cards' faces or different backing designs for each pack.[citation needed]
