How to Play

1

Tableau Setup

Cards are dealt into seven columns, with the first column containing one card and each subsequent column containing one more than the last.

2

Descending Order

Build stacks in descending order and alternating colors. For example, a red 9 must be placed on a black 10.

3

The Stock Pile

Draw cards from the remaining deck to find the values you need to continue building your tableau or foundations.

4

Build Foundations

Move cards to the four foundation piles by suit, starting from Ace and ending with King. Complete all four to win!

Common Questions

What is the difference between Draw 1 and Draw 3?
Draw 1 is easier as you can access every card in the stock. Draw 3 is more challenging because only every third card is immediately accessible.


Are all Klondike games winnable?
Unlike FreeCell, not all Klondike deals are solvable. Success depends on both luck and careful strategic planning.
