The essentials of playing Klondike Solitaire
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. 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. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Bring this focus to a round
Work at your own pace. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
