What Is Klondike Solitaire?
Klondike Solitaire is the card game most people simply call “Solitaire”. It has shipped with Windows since 1990, and for good reason - the rules take about two minutes to learn, but every deal is a fresh puzzle with its own path to victory (and plenty of potential dead ends).
The goal is to move all 52 cards onto four foundation piles, one per suit, built up in order from Ace to King. Between you and that goal is the tableau: seven columns of cards, most face-down, that you must work through by building stacks in descending order and alternating colours.
How the Gameszest Version Works
The game opens with a freshly shuffled deal. Seven tableau columns are laid out, with one card face-up at the top of each. The remaining cards sit in the stock pile (top-left corner); click or tap it to draw from the waste pile one card at a time.
Moving cards around the tableau follows the standard Klondike rules - you can place a card on any tableau column if it is one rank lower and the opposite colour to the top card there. A King, or a King-led sequence, is the only thing that can fill an empty column.
The foundation piles (top-right) accept Aces first, then build each suit up from Two through King. Once a card is on a foundation it stays there. Get all 52 cards onto the four foundations and the game is won.
A few extras make play quicker:
- Drag entire stacks - grab any face-up card and the whole sequence below it moves with it.
- Double-tap to auto-move - tap any face-up card and it jumps to a valid foundation slot automatically if one exists.
- Stock reset - when the stock runs out, tap it to cycle the waste pile back through.
- Win and time tracking - your total wins and best completion time are saved locally in your browser.
Tips to Win More Deals
- Uncover face-down cards early. Every face-down card in the tableau is a blocked opportunity. Prioritise moves that flip new cards over building long sequences that don’t reveal anything.
- Don’t rush Aces to the foundation. A low card on the foundation can strand higher cards of the opposite colour on the tableau that have nowhere useful to go. Build foundations evenly across suits.
- Keep empty columns flexible. An empty tableau column is powerful - only a King can start one, so think carefully about which King to place there based on what cards are buried underneath.
- Draw from the stock before making tableau moves. The card in the waste pile might open a better play than what you can see on the tableau right now.
- Plan two moves ahead. The winning deals are usually the ones where you avoided a trap three moves earlier rather than the ones where you found a clever escape.
