Solitaire

Solitaire (Klondike) is the world's most popular single-player card game. The goal is to arrange messy cards by suit and order, eventually moving them all to the foundation piles.

Game Layout:

• Stock: Remaining cards in top-left, can be flipped one or three at a time
• Waste: Cards flipped from stock
• Tableau: Seven columns of cards dealt at game start, only top card face-up
• Foundation: Four empty spaces in top-right, place A to K in same suit

Movement Rules:

• In tableau, move a card onto another card that is 1 higher and opposite color (e.g., red 6 on black 7)
• K or sequences starting with K can be placed on empty columns
• A can be moved to foundation, then continue with 2, 3...K in same suit
• Face-down cards in tableau can be flipped

Game Strategy:

• Prioritize Hidden Cards: Flip face-down cards in tableau quickly to increase move options
• Free Up Empty Columns: Empty columns can temporarily hold K, increasing flexibility
• Use Stock Wisely: Don't rush to exhaust stock, keep some for later adjustments
• Plan Foundation Moves: Sometimes delaying moving cards to foundation, keeping in tableau may be better

Win Condition: All 52 cards placed in four foundation piles in same suit order A-K.
