How to Play Klondike Solitaire
Klondike is a classic single-player card game. Play unlimited games free on your phone, desktop, or in full screen. No download, no registration required.
Objective
Arrange all cards into 4 foundation piles by suit in ascending order, from Ace to King. Move face-up cards from the stock pile and the tableau.
Rules
Move face-up cards only. Place cards on tableau columns in descending order, alternating colors (e.g., a red 6 on a black 7). Move groups of sequenced cards together. Build foundation piles starting with Aces. Only Kings fill empty columns. Draw from the stock pile when stuck.
Strategies to Win
Focus on revealing face-down cards. Play Aces and 2s to foundations immediately. Move cards from larger columns first. Clear columns for Kings. Use hint and undo when needed.
