Classic builders
These games focus on moving cards into ordered foundations, often with tableau rules around colour, suit, or rank. Klondike, FreeCell, Yukon, Canfield, and Easthaven all fit here.

Pairing and removal games
Instead of building long sequences, these variants ask you to clear layouts by matching values or ranks. Pyramid, Baroness, Decade, Nestor, and Elevens are good examples.
Two-deck patience games
These tend to have deeper layouts, more foundations, and longer decision chains. Crescent, Miss Milligan, Queen of Italy, Zodiac, and Emperor offer a bigger planning challenge.
