How to play Klondike

The goal is four foundations above the tableau: build each suit from ace to king.

Tap the stock to draw. Drag cards between tableau columns, alternating colours and descending rank.

Move aces to foundations as soon as you can. Empty tableau columns can take a king.

Use Draw one and the settings card to change the draw count. There is no timer.

Tips for a better run

  • Prioritise face-down cards; flipping a hidden card is worth more than a tidy column.
  • Keep a free column for kings, and avoid burying aces under long sequences.
  • If a move feels reversible, try it; undo is available.

Good for

A calm five-minute solitaire break with no timer and no opponent.

Controls

  • Tap the stock to draw; drag cards between columns and foundations.
