Also called Klondike and Patience.
Klondike, the patience game most people mean by Solitaire, on any phone, tablet or computer. It’s the one game here you play alone, and the deck can grow: add Stars, Moons, Crowns and Towers to the usual four suits for a bigger spread.

How to play Solitaire
Goal
Move every card onto the foundations: one pile for each suit, built up in order from the Ace to the King.
The deal
- The cards are dealt into 7 columns: 1 card in the first, 2 in the next, and so on, with only the top card of each face up.
- The rest is the stock. Tap it to turn a card onto the waste pile. When the stock runs out, tap it again to turn the waste back over.
Moving cards
- In the columns, build down in alternating colours: a red Seven on a black Eight, a black Six on the red Seven.
- You can move a single card, or a run of face-up cards together, from one column to another.
- When a face-down card is uncovered, it turns face up.
- Only a King, or a run starting with one, can go into an empty column.
- Move a card to its foundation whenever it’s next in order: the Ace first, then the Two, and so on.
Winning
You win when every card is on the foundations. If you’re stuck, deal a new game.
Variations
Picked in the lobby before the game starts.
- Deck: 52 cards. The usual deck. On the Deck tab, you can add suits (Stars, Moons, Crowns, Towers), add number cards past 10 or shuffle more than one deck together. A bigger deck deals more columns.
- Extra suits play wild: On. Cards of a suit beyond the usual four build on any colour but their own suit. Off, extra suits pair up as extra reds and blacks, and an odd one out stays wild.
