Classic Solitaire

Classic Solitaire is a Klondike-style card game built around four suit foundations. Cards move upward from ace to king on those foundations, while the tableau builds downward in alternating colors. Ordered groups can move together, and an empty column accepts a king or a sequence led by one. These rules create a gentle planning challenge: uncover hidden cards, manage the columns, and choose when moving a card to a foundation will help the rest of the board.

Classic Solitaire: useful things to know

Klondike solitaire with descending, alternating-color tableau piles and four suit foundations built from Ace to King.

Why can a card fit on the tableau but not on a foundation?

The two areas use different ordering rules. Tableau piles descend and alternate red and black; the four foundations each build one suit upward, starting with an Ace and ending with a King.

How can I recognise progress toward finishing this solitaire deal?

The objective is to move every card to the four foundations. When comparing tableau moves, consider whether they help make the next required foundation card available, rather than moving a card only because the move is legal.
