Solitaire

Solitaire (Klondike) is the world's most popular single-player card game played with a standard deck. Utilizing seven tableau columns, players build descending alternating sequences. Using click-to-select controls, the ultimate objective is to move all cards into four suit foundation piles starting from Ace.

Setup

  • Tableau: 7 columns of cards (1 to 7 cards from left to right). Only the top card of each column is face-up; others are face-down.
  • Stockpile: Remaining 24 cards kept face-down in a draw pile.
  • Waste pile: Place cards here when drawn from the stockpile.
  • Foundations: 4 empty slots at the top for suit building.

Controls

  • Move card: Click and drag any face-up card onto another column or foundation slot.
  • Auto-move: Double-click or right-click any card to send it automatically to foundations if a legal move is open.
  • Draw card: Click the Stockpile to draw new cards (Draw 1 or Draw 3 mode).
  • Mobile: Tap and slide cards using responsive mobile touch.

Rules

  1. Tableau cards can be moved and organized in descending order and alternating colors (e.g., place a red 6 on a black 7).
  2. Only a King (or a descending stack starting with a King) can be placed in an empty tableau column.
  3. When a face-down card in the tableau becomes exposed, click it to flip it face-up.
  4. Build the four foundations up by suit in ascending order starting with the Ace (Ace → 2 → 3... → King).
  5. Draw from the stockpile into the waste pile when no legal moves are available in the tableau columns.
  6. You win the game by successfully transferring all 52 cards into the 4 foundation piles.

Tips

  • Always prioritize uncovering face-down cards in the longest tableau columns first to reveal your options.
  • Never empty a tableau column completely unless you already have a King available to place there.
  • Move Aces and 2s to the foundations immediately, but keep moderate cards (3s and 4s) in the tableau if they are needed to support descending builds.
