Your guide to Klondike Solitaire
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. A clear plan starts with the current position. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
