NEW: Wooden Solitaire Boards

Solitaire is a game most of us have played at some time and it still remains a popular favourite – have a look at our beautiful handcrafted solid wood boards.

Solitaire isn’t a game at all really – it’s a puzzle which has baffled the best of minds for centuries. It was first invented by a French nobleman in the Bastille to while away the hours.
