Solitaire Classic

Solitaire Classic is a clean version of the familiar card puzzle. Your final aim is to build four foundations by suit, starting with aces and progressing to kings. The working columns follow a different pattern: descending ranks with alternating colors. The interesting choices come from balancing those two tasks, since a card that could move to a foundation may still be useful in the tableau. Pick it for a quiet game of patient rearrangement.

Solitaire Classic: useful things to know

Solitaire Classic fits players who want the familiar contrast between descending table columns and ascending suit foundations.

Why can a black 7 not go on a black 8 in a table column?

Table columns require descending ranks with alternating colors. A red 7 can follow a black 8, but another black card breaks the color rule even when the rank is correct.

Do the four foundation piles also alternate red and black?

No. Each foundation is built by suit in ascending rank, beginning with Ace and ending with King. Keep that rule separate from the descending, alternating-color rule used on the main playing field.
