Looking for a new take on a classic? Shuffle up and deal with these excellent Apple Arcade card games.

Solitaire is usually a solo experience but not so in MobilityWare’s version. In addition to clearing boards in the traditional one-player Klondike mode, you can challenge other card sharks in asynchronous multiplayer (multiplaire?) matches.

Before playing a game of spades, you make a bet: Can you accurately predict how many rounds you’ll win? This competitive classic’s rules are tricky at first but once you get the hang of them, you’ll be outbidding, outplaying and outlasting opponents. MobilityWare’s take includes customisable difficulty, leagues and portrait or landscape mode.

Sink into a book or play some cards? Do both in this clever game. Rounds of solitaire are bookended with charming short tales narrated by actors including Jane Lynch (Glee) and Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation). What happens at the end of the adorable “Commotion at the Cat Cafe”? Win some rounds to find out!

Beware the Queen of Spades – it’s the highest penalty card in the game if you net it. Built for hearts pros and newbies alike, this slick version of the popular trickster card game is packed with generous hints and the ability to undo moves. Fun to play – and fun to learn.

It’s solitaire, totally flip-flopped: Instead of stacking aces to kings, you can go king to ace or play suits on top of other suits. Once you’ve eased into Flipflop’s twisted logic (we recommend starting slow with just a single suit), try mixing it up with three – or even five – suits at a time.
