Cards 21

Cards 21 is the newest card game here at Coolmath Games. The entire objective is to get 21 by adding up several cards together. Use strategy and math to improve your odds of winning. Collect coins and become an absolute mogul of this fun twist on a classic game. Just don't use more than 5 cards to get to 21!

Solitaire

This is by far the most famous of the single-player card games. Solitaire is named after the word solitary, specifically made for when people are alone and unsure of what to play. That being said, this game is popular for a reason. Solitaire is super fun to play and has a certain kind of quality that makes it impossible to stop playing. 

Cribbage

While Cribbage is traditionally a 2-player game, this Coolmath Games version of the classic English game is one of the most interesting and unique single-player card games on the website. You must use your arithmetic skills to form pairs, runs, and cards that add up to 15 in order to score points. The first one to 121 points wins.

Hearts

Face off against offline opponents in Hearts, the game where you must compete for tricks with your opponents in an attempt to score less than every other player. The two things you have to look out for in Hearts are collecting cards with hearts on them, and the dastardly Queen of Spades. So long as you manage to avoid those, the game will be smooth sailing.

Rummy

If you are looking for a game that combines luck and skill into a fun and balanced game, look no further than our version of Rummy. In this single-player card game, the objective is to create runs of 3 or more. The first player to get rid of every single one of their cards wins the game, so make sure to move quickly and efficiently.

Daily Freecell

If you love the routine of daily games like the Crossword and Sudoku, consider playing Daily Freecell. In this variation of Solitaire, the goal remains the same as the original – create piles of every single suit in order from Ace to King. You will need to use all 8 of your columns to sort and organize the deck as you attempt to contain the chaos.
