About Solitaire (Klondike)
This is classic Klondike Solitaire, the card game that has shipped with computers for decades and remains the most played patience game in the world. From a standard 52-card deck, seven tableau columns are dealt, and your goal is to move every card onto four foundations, one per suit, from Ace up to King.
You can play solitaire online free here with either Draw 1 or the tougher Draw 3 rules, drag cards or whole runs between columns, undo mistakes, and finish quickly with auto-complete once the board is under control. Double-clicking a card sends it straight to its foundation. No download or registration is needed — the deal happens right in your browser.
