About Klondike: Classic Solitaire
Klondike: Classic Solitaire is the patience game most people simply call solitaire. Four foundation piles wait at the top, and the aim is to fill each one with a single suit, starting from the ace and ending with the king. On the table, cards stack downward in alternating colors, so a black five can go on a red six, and whole runs can be dragged from column to column. Only a king, or a run headed by a king, can fill an empty column. There is no timer and no move limit, hints and undo are there when you need them, and once every card is face up the game finishes itself. The felt, the card backs and the deck design can all be restyled too.

What are the rules of Klondike Solitaire?
Build each foundation pile in one suit from ace up to king. On the table, stack cards downward in alternating red and black, and fill an empty column only with a king or a run that starts with a king.
