ABOUT THE GAME
About Classic Solitaire
Classic Solitaire is a free online Klondike card game played with 52 cards. The seven tableau columns hold face-up cards and hidden cards underneath. Arrange alternating-color runs to uncover those hidden cards, then build four same-suit foundations starting with the Aces. This player includes Draw 1 and Draw 3 settings, hints, undo and theme controls.
THE BASICS
How to play
Tap or drag a card or a face-up run onto a card one rank higher with the opposite color. Move available Aces to the foundations and add cards of the same suit in ascending order to King. Only a King or a run headed by a King can fill an empty tableau column. Draw from the stock when needed, and choose Draw 1 or Draw 3 in Settings.
Tips for Classic Solitaire
- Look for moves that reveal a hidden tableau card before moving a visible card merely to rearrange a column.
- Check the foundations and tableau after drawing from the stock. A newly available card may open a previously blocked move.
Controls and screen layout
This player uses a portrait layout. Use Full screen after starting if you need more space. Follow any device-specific controls shown inside the game.
Classic Solitaire questions
Is Classic Solitaire the same as Klondike?
Yes. This Classic Solitaire player uses Klondike rules: seven tableau columns, alternating-color descending runs and four same-suit foundations built from Ace to King.
How do I win Classic Solitaire?
Move all 52 cards into the four foundations in suit order from Ace to King. Uncover hidden tableau cards by moving the face-up cards above them.
What card can fill an empty column?
A King can fill an empty tableau column. You can also move a valid face-up run when the top card of that run is a King.
Can I choose Draw 1 or Draw 3?
Yes. Use the drawing-mode setting inside the game. Draw 1 reveals a single stock card; Draw 3 reveals a group with only its top waste card immediately playable.
