Game introduction

What is Solitaire?

Solitaire is a single-player card game based on classic Klondike. Cards begin across seven tableau columns, while the stock and waste provide extra cards and four foundations collect completed suits.

The objective is to move every card to the foundations from ace through king. Reorganizing the tableau, uncovering face-down cards, and deciding when to use the stock create the central strategy.

A little help

Solitaire tips

01

Reveal covered cards before making tidy-looking moves.

02

Do not rush every card to the foundation; it may still help in the tableau.

03

Open empty columns for kings, especially kings that uncover long hidden stacks.

04

Before drawing again, look for useful moves from both the waste and the tableau.
