The Klondike Solitaire playbook
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
A focus for your next round
Take a moment to read the table. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
