Klondike Solitaire, also known as Classic Solitaire, is the game most people picture when they think of solitaire — the goal is to build up all four foundations in suit, starting from the ace and working steadily through to the king (A-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K).
The top card of the waste pile is always in play, ready to move onto either the tableau or the foundations, while the top card of each tableau pile can likewise be sent to the foundations or shifted onto another tableau pile.
Within the tableau itself, cards build downward in sequence using alternating colors, creating the classic layout that makes this game so instantly recognizable. Should a tableau pile ever become completely empty, only a king is allowed to fill that open space.
The game wraps up once all four foundations have been fully completed, or when no further moves remain available — a satisfying test of strategy for solitaire lovers of every skill level.
