Klondike solitaire: rules and strategy of the world's most played card game
How classic solitaire works: the seven-column layout, legal moves, draw-one versus draw-three, and the strategy that lifts your win rate.
Klondike is the best-known solitaire: seven columns building down in alternating colours, four foundations climbing from ace to king, and a stock of 24 cards that decides your fate one flip at a time. Named after the 1890s Yukon gold rush and made universal when Microsoft shipped it with Windows in 1990, it involves strategy: uncovering hidden cards first, holding low cards back from the foundations, spending empty columns only on useful kings. Played well, roughly a third of draw-one deals can be won; the rest teach patience, which is the game's older European name.
Our full guide (history, complete rules and strategy) is in Spanish: Reglas del solitario. Solitaire wears cards out faster than any game: a durable deck from our playing cards collection helps.
