Question Idiot’s delight

idiot’s delight: variation of the card game solitaire...

I'd call this "solitario" in Spanish, but is there any other colloquial way to say this in Spanish...?
(i.e., something including the "idiot" connotation)

I think of "el solitario de los tontos" or "solitario para idiotas" but this is quite derogatory for the Spanish, while I don't think the English has that much of a negative sense, i.e., "idiot" is probably used for the low chances one has to win such a game...

Any "smart" idea about this in Spanish and/or English will be appreciated.

No estoy segura de que en español cada una de las mil y una variantes de solitario tengan nombre, pero ¿qué tal algo como "solitario bobo"? Así queda calificado el solitario y no quien lo juega, que es, me parece, lo que te disgusta de la traducción.
