A method and apparatus for providing a skill-based card game. A game apparatus displays cards on a display screen. The cards are provided from a deck to played by a player according to rules of the card game, where the player can make moves during the game with the drawn cards. A game score is based on the moves made by the player during the card game. The time duration in which the player makes the moves is recorded, and does not include time expired during the game in which moves cannot be made by the player. The game score is modified based on the time duration such that the less time expired during the moves, the greater the game score. The player can be penalized when the player fails to make a move when a move is possible. Also, equalized decks reduce the randomness of available moves during the card game. In one embodiment, the card game is similar to Solitaire, drawn cards are moved onto other cards in a display area as appropriate. In another embodiment, a drawn card and one or more other displayed cards are selected to sum to a predetermined value.
