Australian Patience Solitaire: The Unforgiving Challenge
For Solitaire enthusiasts seeking a true test of skill and patience, **Australian Patience** delivers. This single-deck variant is famous for its low win rate (often quoted at around 14–20%), making every successful game feel like a major achievement. The rules borrow the suit-matching difficulty of games like Scorpion and the 'group-move' freedom of Yukon, blending them with the stock-and-waste system of Klondike.
Success hinges on clever maneuvering in the Tableau. Since you must build down *by suit* (e.g., a 6 of Hearts on a 7 of Hearts) and can only cycle through the Stockpile once, every card drawn and every move made is critical. A bad move can easily bury a vital card forever. Only Kings can fill empty columns, forcing players to carefully manage their open spaces.
### Pros and Cons
**Pros:**
* **Highly Strategic:** Requires deep planning and foresight.
* **Rewarding Wins:** The low win rate makes victories incredibly satisfying.
* **Unique Mechanics:** Offers a fresh challenge for fans of traditional Solitaire.
**Cons:**
* **Very Difficult:** Not suitable for casual players or those easily frustrated.

### Final Verdict
**Australian Patience** is a demanding, yet brilliant, entry in the Solitaire family. If you've mastered Klondike and FreeCell and are hungry for a new challenge, this **free online card game** is an absolute must-play. Just remember to breathe! You can play it right now on PlayArcadeHub.
**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 Stars - for the challenge)
