Solitaire is an unfair game.
I play Spider Solitaire when I'm bored. Its obvious very quickly that everything depends on how the cards are stacked. The easier the stack, the better the score. The more you have to backtrack and figure it out, the lower the score. and some stacks are unwinnable.
Life is an unfair game. Some stacks are easy, some are difficult, some are unwinnable. The difference is that you can't hit the back key.
Certainly is. The pack is always stacked against you when you play alone. Then the paranoia creeps in! If you can’t beat yourself you’re screwed!
Maybe call a friend and play cribbage. Then if you lose you have a good justification.
That is why I play free cell, it is always possible to win.
