Klondike Solitaire
Play free Klondike Solitaire card games online. Arrange all 52 cards into 4 foundation piles from Ace to King by suit with smooth drag and drop play.
📖 How to Play & Game Overview
Build tableau columns in descending order with alternating colors (Red/Black). Move Aces to foundations and build up to Kings by matching suit.
Core Game Rules:
- The deck consists of 52 standard playing cards dealt into 7 tableau columns.
- Tableau cards must be built in descending order (King down to Ace) with alternating colors (e.g., Black 8 on Red 9).
- Only Kings (or stacks led by a King) can be placed in an empty tableau column.
- Four foundation piles must be built up by suit starting with Ace and ending with King (A, 2, 3... Q, K).
- Draw cards from the stock stockpile to replenish moves.
Winning Strategies & Tips:
- Reveal Hidden Cards First: Always prioritize making tableau moves that flip over face-down cards over drawing from the stock deck.
- Clear Largest Tableau Piles: Focus on revealing cards in column 7 and 6 first, as they conceal the most hidden cards.
- Don't Empty Columns Without a King: Only clear a tableau column if you have an available King ready to occupy the space.
- Hold Foundation Cards When Needed: Don't rush lower cards (like 3s, 4s, 5s) to foundations if you might need them in the tableau to hold opposite-color sequences.
