How to play Klondike Solitaire: the setup
Klondike Solitaire in two minutes: the seven columns, the deck, the four foundations and the goal of building each suit from Ace to King. How Solitaire works · lesson 1 of 3.
The lesson in words
Solitaire (Klondike) is dealt into seven columns. The first has one card, the last has seven, and only the bottom card of each is face up. The rest of the deck goes face down in the deck at the top left.
The four empty spaces at the top right are the foundations. The goal is to move every card there, one pile per suit, in order from Ace up to King.
Try it: Tap an empty foundation space.
Aces always start a foundation. Tap a card, then tap where it should go.
Try it: Move an Ace up to the foundations.
Seven columns, a deck and four foundations. Next: building down the columns.
