What is Solitaire?
Solitaire, most commonly Klondike Solitaire, is the world's most played card game. It became iconic as the default game bundled with Windows and has been enjoyed by hundreds of millions of players worldwide.
The goal is to build four foundation piles by suit from Ace to King. It combines strategy with a bit of luck, making every game a unique and engaging challenge.
How to Play
Solitaire consists of four areas: Stock (deck), Waste, Foundations, and the Tableau.
Tableau
Seven columns of cards make up the tableau. You can stack cards in descending order and alternating colors (red/black). For example, a black Jack can go on a red Queen. Only Kings can be placed in empty columns.
Foundation
Build four piles (one per suit) from Ace to King. Complete all four foundations to win the game.
Stock & Waste
Click the Stock to flip cards to the Waste pile. Draw 1 flips one card at a time; Draw 3 flips three. When the Stock runs out, click it again to recycle the Waste.
Winning Strategy
Reveal Face-Down Cards First
Prioritize moves that flip face-down cards. The more face-down cards you have, the fewer options you have. Always prefer moves that uncover hidden cards over other moves.
Use Empty Columns Wisely
An empty column is valuable — it can only hold a King. Don't fill it carelessly. Use empty columns as temporary storage when building sequences.
Balance Your Foundations
Don't rush cards to the foundations. Moving a card to the foundation too early can block other moves. Keep foundation piles at similar heights to maximize flexibility.
