About the Game

Solitaire (Klondike) is the classic one-player card game: build the four suit piles from Ace to King by sorting the seven tableau columns in alternating colours. Choose draw 1 for a relaxed game or draw 3 for the classic challenge, undo a misstep at a small cost, and finish with auto-complete once every card is face-up.

Basic Rules

1. 1Seven columns are dealt with 1 to 7 cards each; only the top card of each column is face-up.
2. 2Build the columns downward in alternating colours, moving whole face-up runs at once.
3. 3Only a King (or a run starting with a King) can go on an empty column.
4. 4Turn over the stock to draw 1 or 3 cards onto the waste; recycle the waste when the stock runs out.
5. 5Move cards to the four foundations by suit, from Ace up to King.
6. 6Score points for each card you place or turn up; recycling and undoing cost points.
7. 7Win by getting all 52 cards onto the foundations — or give up and start a new game.
