How to play Klondike Solitaire
The classic seven-column game, tuned for calm play and fast decisions. The board above uses a deterministic shuffle, so a shared Deal ID recreates the same opening layout.
- Build tableau columns downward in alternating colors.
- Move Aces through Kings to the four suit foundations.
- Only a King, or a sequence beginning with a King, may fill an empty column.
- Turn one card from the stock at a time.
Strategy that matters
- Expose face-down cards before chasing foundation moves.
- Protect empty columns until a King can use them.
- Move Aces and Twos early unless they are holding a useful tableau card.
Why this version feels different
True Solitaire keeps the playing surface in front of you. Hints describe a legal action without pretending a heuristic move guarantees a win. Undo, numbered deals, themes, card sizing, and local statistics are available without an account.
