Klondike is a solitaire card game often known purely by the name
of Solitaire. It is probably the most well known solo card game. It has been reported to be the most
commonly played computer game in recent history, possibly ranking higher than even Tetris.
Taking a standard 52-card deck of playing cards (without Jokers), deal one upturned card on the left of your playing area, then six downturned cards (from left to right). On top of the downturned cards, deal an upturned card on the left-most downturned pile, and downturned cards on the rest until all piles have an upturned card.
The four foundations are built up by suit from Ace to King, and the tableau piles can be built down by alternate colours, and partial or complete piles can be moved if they are built down by alternate colours also. Any empty piles can be filled with a King or a pile of cards with a King at the top.
