Complete Solitaire Rules

From the card layout to the winning condition, at a glance.

Klondike Solitaire is a single-player card game played with one deck (52 cards). The cards are divided into 7 tableau columns, the stock, the waste, and 4 foundations.

Each of the 7 tableau columns holds 1 to 7 cards, with only the top card face-up. The remaining 24 cards form the stock, and the 4 foundations start empty.

In the tableau you stack cards in descending order with alternating colors, and only a King may go on an empty column. The foundations build up by suit from Ace to King. Fill all four foundations up to the King to win.
