Klondike Solitaire

How to Play Klondike Solitaire Like a Pro

Ready to tackle Klondike Solitaire, the king of solo card games? You’ll need a standard deck of 52, and it’s all about turning a messy shuffle into neat stacks. Deal seven tableau piles left to right: one card face-up for the first, two cards (top one face-up) for the second, up to seven for the last, with the rest forming your stock pile. Your mission is to build four foundation piles, one per suit, starting with Aces and stacking up to Kings.

Here’s the rundown: move any face-up tableau card to a foundation if it fits, or stack it on another tableau card one rank higher and opposite in color, like a black 10 on a red Jack, flipping over any face-down cards you uncover. Draw from the stock one card at a time (or three if you’re up for it), playing what you can to the tableau or foundations, and tossing leftovers to the waste pile. Clear a tableau pile? Drop any card there to keep the flow going. It’s a classic mix of luck and strategy, perfect for chilling out or sharpening your focus. Can you sort the deck and claim the win?
