Klondike Solitaire

Klondike is the most well-known solitaire card game in the world. When most people say "Solitaire," they mean Klondike. This single-player card game has been a staple of computer gaming since it was included with Windows 3.0 in 1990. The game uses a standard 52-card deck. Cards are dealt into seven tableau columns, with each column containing one more card than the previous. Only the top card of each column is face-up. The remaining cards form the stock pile. The goal is to build four foundation piles, one for each suit, from Ace up to King. You can move cards between tableau columns by placing them in descending order with alternating colors (red on black, black on red). When you expose a face-down card, it flips over automatically. Strategy tips: Always move Aces and Twos to foundations immediately. Try to uncover face-down cards as quickly as possible. Keep tableau columns balanced and avoid emptying columns unless you have a King to place there. Our free online version includes undo/redo, a move counter, timer, and win statistics to help you track your improvement over time.
