How to play Klondike Solitaire

  1. Move face-up cards into descending runs with alternating colors.
  2. Build each foundation from Ace to King in one suit.
  3. Turn cards from the stock when no useful tableau move is available.

Rules

  • Only Kings, alone or with a valid run, may enter an empty tableau column.
  • Only the top waste card can be played.
  • Moving a run reveals and automatically turns the exposed tableau card.
  • Move all 52 cards to the four foundations to win.

Strategy

  • Reveal hidden tableau cards before chasing foundation moves.
  • Keep empty columns available for Kings that expose useful cards.
  • In Draw 3, remember that moving a waste card changes which cards become reachable.
  • Use unlimited undo to inspect a line without losing the deal.
