❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a game of Klondike Solitaire?
Click or tap the stock pile (top-left) to draw a card to the waste pile. You can play the top waste card onto a tableau column or foundation. Build tableau columns in descending order with alternating red and black cards.
When can I move a card to the foundation?
Move an Ace to an empty foundation pile to start it. Then build each foundation up in the same suit from Ace to King. Only the top card of the waste pile or a single face-up tableau card can go directly to the foundation.
What happens when the stock pile runs out?
When the stock pile is empty, click it to recycle the waste pile back into the stock (with a small score penalty). You can cycle through the stock as many times as needed — the goal is to move all 52 cards to the foundations.
Is this draw-1 or draw-3 Klondike, and how does scoring work?
This table is one-card draw: each stock tap flips a single card to waste. Moving a card to a foundation scores +10. A legal tableau play scores +5. Recycling waste back to stock costs −5. There is no Vegas cash stake — only this local score.
Can I play Klondike Solitaire on a phone?
Yes. Tap the stock to draw, drag cards (or tap to select, then tap a target), and double-tap a card to auto-move it to a legal foundation. Free in the browser with no download. Best score stays on this device.
How many tableau columns and cards are there?
Standard Klondike: 52 cards, 7 tableau columns (1–7 cards, last face-up), 4 foundations Ace→King by suit, one waste. Draw-1 from stock. Recycle waste as often as you want (−5 each recycle).
Is this Vegas scoring, and can two people play?
No Vegas cash. Local points only: +10 to foundation, +5 tableau play, −5 recycle (score never below 0). Solo. Free in the browser, tap/drag or double-tap auto-foundation, no download.
Can I put any card on an empty Klondike column, and does it auto-finish?
No — only a King can start an empty tableau column. Foundations start with an Ace and build Ace→King in the same suit. When every tableau card is face-up and the stock and waste are empty, remaining legal foundation moves auto-complete. Solo draw-1, no undo, no Vegas cash. Score: +10 foundation, +5 tableau, −5 recycle (never below 0).
How do I win Klondike Solitaire, and what happens at the end?
You win when all four foundations hold Ace→King of each suit — all 52 cards home. The board dims, your final score appears, and Restart deals a fresh game. There is no timer and no extra win bonus, so the score you banked is what counts: +10 per foundation card, +5 per tableau play, −5 per stock recycle (never below 0). Solo draw-1, free in your browser, no download.
