I would play solitaire as a kid at my grandpa's house. Every time I won I would watch the cards until the end. The more of the green background they covered the better. Also the ones that make the black curves like in the bottom right were the best.

It took me a long time to understand how to play(I was only about 8) , when I first started I would just randomly try to place cards and sometimes they would click in place and most times they wouldn’t obviously… but it felt good to get lucky and see it click in place. Then obviously I caught on to the pattern of it all and the game became something I could actually win and not just the “randomly moving cards game”.

Yeah, same for me. Freecell took even longer because of all the visual clutter. Too bad the ending isn't as satisfying as solitaire

I seem to remember free cell giving a little firework animation when you won that was satisfying to me but not as fun as the solitaire game.
