Solitairithmetic mixes solitaire with arithmetic. The game contains three separate versions of solitaire: card game, tile game, and peg game. The card game is similar to Klondike Solitaire, but instead of using traditional suits it uses Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction suits; scores are calculated by the cards on top. The tile game is like Mahjong; the scores are computed by the value and math symbols on the tiles. In the peg game, players jump pegs over other pegs until one peg is left; discarded pegs determine the score. In each game, mathematical symbols, such as multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction, and the number determine scores. [source:mobygames]
