About This Game
Solitaire (Klondike) is the world's most popular single-player card game. Sort all 52 cards by suit and rank, moving them from the tableau up to the four foundation piles in order from Ace to King. Simple rules, deep strategy — a timeless way to pass the time.
Editor’s Curated Notes
Solitaire is a game of gradually revealing information. Rather than rushing every card to the foundation, keeping flexible tableau moves and exposing hidden cards is often more valuable.
Best for
Players who enjoy card games, solo strategy, and a slower pace.
Mobile play note
If drag-and-drop feels imprecise on mobile, use tap selection when available. Portrait play is often comfortable one-handed.
