Hours upon hours were wasted playing this...

Hours upon hours were wasted playing this…

Well this is a blast from the past.

Long before there was Twitter or Facebook or Instagram we wasted our time stacking cards on top of each other in a game called Solitaire.

While you can get versions of the card game on apps across iPhone and Android, only now is the official game available to download.

Microsoft has released the official version of the game called the “Microsoft Solitaire Collection,” which offers five virtual card games.

It obviously has the classic Klondike but also included Spider, Frecell, Tripeaks and Pyramid.

The classic game is available to download as of this week.

You can get a free month subscription of the app’s premium edition, worth $1.99, between Nov. 23 and Dec.31. The premium version has no ads and offers rewards and boosts.

At this rate, hopefully we’ll be playing with Microsoft Paint and MineSweeper in no time.
