Klondike Solitaire: how a round works
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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
Take a moment to read the table. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
