Alpine Solitaire is a climbing game for just one player, that can be played with a standard deck of cards. Your goal is to summit a mountaintop by reaching three camps of increasing height, before you are overwhelmed and lose the game. The base game is designed to provide a difficult and replayable experience, but Alpine Solitaire also comes with challenges based around the fourteen "eight-thousander" mountains, which alter the base rules of the game in a number of ways.
