  Many Solitaire games can be played on smaller surfaces than a card table. Others necessitate a larger playing surface, and these games are frequently played on the floor or on a bedspread. Miniature playing cards are also available for use with large layouts on a card table. These are typically half the size of traditional playing cards. THE PACK Almost all Solitaire games use one or more standard 52-card packs. One 52-card pack is used in standard solitaire. THE GAME'S OBJECTIVE The first goal of klondike solitaire is to release and play certain cards into position to build up each foundation, in sequence and in suit, from the ace to the king. The ultimate goal is to build the entire pack onto the foundations, and if that is accomplished, the Solitaire game is won. CARD RANKING In Solitaire games, the cards are ranked as follows: K (high), Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A. (low). THE DEAL In Solitaire, there are four types of piles: The Tableau: The main table is made up of seven piles.The Foundations are four piles upon which an entire suit or sequence must be built. The four aces are the bottom card or base of the foundations in most Solitaire games. Hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs are the foundation piles.If the entire pack is not laid out in a tableau at the start of a game, the remaining cards form the stock pile, from which additional cards are brought into play according to the rules.The Talon (or "Waste") Pile is a pile of cards from the stock pile that have no place in the tableau or on foundations.Seven piles must be created in order to complete the tableau. Starting from left to right, make the first pile by placing the first card face up, then deal one card face down for the next six piles. Starting from the left, deal one card face up on the second pile and one card face down on piles three through seven. Starting from left to right, deal one card face up on the third pile and one card face down on the fourth through seventh piles. Continue in this manner until pile seven has one card facing up on top of six cards facing down. The remaining cards are arranged in a stock (or "hand") pile above the tableau. When you first start out, there are no cards in the foundations or waste pile. THE PLAY The initial array can be changed by "building" - transferring cards between the tableau's face-up cards. Certain tableau cards can be played at the same time, while others cannot be played until certain blocking cards are removed. For example, if one of the seven cards facing up in the tableau is a nine and another is a ten, you can place the nine on top of the ten to start building that pile in sequence. You have unblocked a face down card by moving the nine from one of the seven piles; this card can now be turned over and is now in play. If an ace is discovered while transferring cards in the tableau and beginning to build sequences, it should be placed in one of the foundation piles. The foundations are built in order of suit, from ace to king. Continue to arrange the cards in the tableau in a logical order. If you can't move any more face-up cards, use the stock pile by flipping the first card over. This card can be used in either the foundations or the tableau. If you are unable to play the card in the tableau or foundations piles, place it in the waste pile and turn over another card from the stock pile. When a vacancy in the tableau is created by the removal of cards from elsewhere, it is referred to as a "space," and it is extremely important in manipulating the tableau. If a void is formed, it can only be filled by a king. Filling a space with a king may allow one of the face down cards in another pile in the tableau to be unblocked. Continue to transfer cards in the tableau and bring cards into play from the stock pile until all of the cards in the foundation piles are built in suit sequences to win!

  Klondike Solitaire is the most popular solitaire game. It is frequently misunderstood and incorrectly referred to as Canfield Solitaire. The goal is very similar to that of most solitaire games. You want to separate the cards into their respective suite piles, extracting them from the card setup, and have them ordered from Ace to King. The game is over once you have done this correctly or when you can no longer make any legal moves. Klondike Solitaire is played with a standard 52-card deck. This is shuffled, and you can then begin arranging the cards in your layout. Starting from the left, create piles, with the first pile containing only one facedown card. Your second pile will have two cards, and your third pile will have three cards. This process is repeated until you have seven piles, with the last pile containing seven cards. Then, from each pile, turn over the top card. There should be 7 face-up cards on top of 7 different piles. The remaining cards form a draw pile and are placed nearby. The foundations will be built above your tableau. These are the piles into which your cards will be sorted by suit and arranged in ascending order. The ace of the suit must be the first card in each foundation, followed by cards numbered 2 through king. Some versions allow you to move cards from the foundations back to the tableau, but in the original Klondike Solitaire, once a card is placed in the foundations, it cannot be removed. The tableau is just a fancy word for the layout on which you are playing your game. When playing cards or moving cards in the tableau, they are played in descending order, and to place a card on another, you must also alternate color. For example, if you want to move a black 5 of clubs, you must place it on a red 6 of either hearts or diamonds. When a card is successfully moved or removed from a pile, the card beneath it is revealed. This card can now be moved and have items placed on it. If a player clears a column in the tableau, a king of any suit may be placed in the empty column.When playing Klondike Solitaire, you will flip over one card at a time (some versions allow you to flip three at a time) and play it if you want to, otherwise it will go into a discard pile. You can always play the top card from the discard pile. To make the game more difficult, you can only go through the draw pile once. Once the draw pile is depleted, you can replenish it by flipping the discard pile over and going through it again. There is no reshuffling of the discard pile. When cards are revealed, use the previously described rules to move cards around the tableau to reveal hidden cards.When you can no longer make any valid plays or have successfully placed all cards in ascending order on their foundations, the game is over. If you complete the latter, you have won the game. You can play this card game for free online. No download is required. You can play klondike solitaire turn one or turn three for free.
