Klondike Solitaire: instructions and practice
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Begin with the objective. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
