Klondike Solitaire: what to know before playing
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Begin with the objective. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
Keep the active rule in mind. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
