Is it actually possible to loose playing Solitaire?

It is possible to tighten.

On Vista, I believe they have programmed it to not allow losses.

“For a “standard” game of Klondike of the form (Draw 3, Re-Deal Infinite, Win 52) the number of solvable games is 66.875%. The number of unplayable games is 0.025% and the number of games that cannot be won is 33.1%. Note – these results are based on a mathematical theory that is speculative and not proven. [1]

“Unplayable” means that no cards can be moved – anywhere. As opposed to a game that has been “lost” with 0 cards to the suit stacks. In which case some cards can be moved just not to the suit stacks. A game that has been won, in this case, has 52 cards placed to the suit stacks. So you have unplayable, lost and won games.[2]”

There is a version with Vegas odds. Of course, like anything with Vegas odds, you are more likely to lose.

Drink while you play and you should loosen up quite a bit.

I don’t know. but I have to say I got a chuckle from pattyb ‘s answer!!

I think it is funny that some of these answers refer to playing solitaire on a computer. What about if you play with an actual deck of cards?

How would that affect it at all?
