How to play Klondike Solitaire

  1. Build tableau columns downward in alternating colors, such as a red 8 on a black 9.
  2. Turn over a newly exposed face-down card whenever a tableau pile is uncovered.
  3. Move Aces to the foundations, then build each suit upward through King.
  4. Place only a King or a King-led sequence in an empty tableau column.
  5. Draw one card at a time from the stock and recycle the waste when the stock is empty.

Klondike Solitaire strategy tips

1

Prioritize moves that reveal hidden tableau cards; they open the most new choices.

2

Do not automatically send every card to a foundation if it may still be needed to build a tableau sequence.

3

Use empty columns deliberately. A King move is best when it reveals a card or frees a useful sequence.
