About the game
Klondike is the solitaire many people remember from their first home computer, and this version brings it back in a clean edition. Seven columns sit on the table, the stock waits in the top left corner and four empty foundations line the top right. The goal is easy to explain and fun to pull off: move every card to the foundations, one suit each, from ace to king.
Alongside the standard game you get a tutorial for your first round, several table and card themes, accessibility options, a practice mode and a separate daily deal. Start slowly, then come back for a fresh deal every day.
How to play
- Build the columns downward from the king in alternating red and black: a red nine goes on a black ten.
- An empty column accepts only a king, or a run that starts with a king.
- Click the stock in the top left when you have no moves on the table. The turned card can go to a column or a foundation.
- Send aces to the foundations straight away, then add twos, threes and onward in the same suit.

Three tips for winning more deals
- Uncover face down cards in the longest columns first. That is where most cards are hidden.
- Do not empty a column unless you have a king ready to fill it.
- Do not rush low cards to the foundations while you still need them for building down in the columns.
