Ace to king, alone. The most played game of cards there is.
Fill the four piles top-right, one suit each, running ace up to king. In the seven columns below, cards stack in alternating colours, each one rank lower than the last. Turn a face-down card whenever the card above it leaves. Stuck? Turn the stock. The difficulty setting changes how many cards you turn at a time — one or three.
It began in late-eighteenth-century Northern Europe as a form of fortune telling, then spread through France as "patience". Napoleon is said to have played it in exile. Klondike takes its name from the Canadian goldfields of the 1890s. In 1990 it shipped with a personal computer — and became the most played card game in the world.
Clear the face-down cards first. When you have a choice of moves, work on the column hiding the most of them. Apart from aces and twos, don't rush cards up to the foundations — you'll want them on the table to bridge the colours. Only a king can fill an empty column, so have one in hand before you empty one.
