How to play Klondike Solitaire
Begin with the objective. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
