Quick Rules: How to Play Solitaire

This is a quick guide to classic Klondike Solitaire.

• The Goal: The main objective is to move all 52 cards to the four Foundation piles at the top right. Each pile must be built by a single suit, in ascending order from Ace to King (A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K).

• The Tableau: These are the seven columns of cards on the main table. You can build these columns downwards (from King to Ace) by alternating colors. For example, you can place a red 9 (9♥ or 9♦) on a black 10 (10♠ or 10♣).

• The Stockpile: This is the deck of face-down cards at the top left. When you run out of moves on the Tableau, click this deck to draw one card (Turn 1) or three cards (Turn 3).

• Winning: You win the game when all cards are successfully moved to the Foundation piles.
