Making your first moves in Klondike Solitaire
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Work at your own pace. 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.
A focus for your next round
Work at your own pace. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
What counts as success
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Before making a move, check the cards in view.
