How to Play Solitaire (Classic Klondike Rules)
Solitaire is a single-player card game that requires strategy and patience. The goal is to move all cards to the four foundation piles, arranged by suit in ascending order (Ace to King).
Game Setup
- Deck: A standard 52-card deck (no jokers).
- Tableau: 7 columns of cards, with only the top card in each column face-up.
- Foundation: 4 empty piles where you must build up cards from Ace to King.
- Stockpile: The remaining deck where you draw extra cards.
- Waste Pile: Cards drawn from the stockpile that are not yet played.
Gameplay Rules
- Move cards within the tableau
- You can move a face-up card onto another face-up card if it is one rank lower and of the opposite color (e.g., place a red 7 on a black 8).
- You can move a group of descending cards (e.g., 10-9-8 of alternating colors) together.
- If a tableau column is empty, only a King (or a stack starting with a King) can be placed there.
- Build the foundation piles
- Move Aces to the foundation when available.
- Add cards in ascending order (A → 2 → 3 → … → K) following the same suit.
- Use the stockpile
- Draw cards from the stockpile if no moves are available in the tableau.
- Move playable cards to either the tableau or foundation piles.
- Winning the game
- The game is won when all four foundation piles are fully built from Ace to King in each suit.
How to Set Up Solitaire (Classic Klondike)
Solitaire is played with a standard 52-card deck (no jokers). The setup consists of the tableau, the stockpile, the waste pile, and the foundation piles.
Step-by-Step Setup
1. Shuffle the Deck
- Take a standard deck of 52 playing cards and shuffle them thoroughly.
2. Create the Tableau (7 Columns of Cards)
- Deal 7 columns from left to right:
- Column 1: 1 card (face-up).
- Column 2: 2 cards (top one face-up, the rest face-down).
- Column 3: 3 cards (top one face-up, the rest face-down).
- Column 4: 4 cards (top one face-up, the rest face-down).
- Column 5: 5 cards (top one face-up, the rest face-down).
- Column 6: 6 cards (top one face-up, the rest face-down).
- Column 7: 7 cards (top one face-up, the rest face-down).
Each column should have only the top card face-up, while the rest remain face-down.
3. Set Up the Foundation Piles
- Leave space for four empty foundation piles above the tableau.
- The goal is to build up each foundation pile from Ace to King in the same suit.
4. Create the Stockpile
- Place the remaining undealt cards face-down in a stockpile (usually in the upper-left corner).
- This is where you’ll draw new cards during the game.
5. Waste Pile (Next to the Stockpile)
- As you draw cards from the stockpile, unplayable cards go into the waste pile (also called the discard pile).
