No concerns. Let them play. Set a household screen time boundary if needed — the game itself won't stop them — but this is one of the cleanest games you can find.

What your child develops

The original Solitaire is a deceptively rich cognitive exercise. Klondike requires planning several moves ahead, weighing probabilities with hidden cards, and making decisions under uncertainty. The patience demanded to work through a difficult hand — and to accept an unwinnable position gracefully — builds genuine attention regulation. It was originally bundled with Windows to teach users how to use a mouse; it ended up being one of the most-played games in computing history.
