Klondike Classic Solitaire
Klondike Classic Solitaire is the patience game most people mean when they just say solitaire: seven columns, the first card of each face up, the rest waiting underneath.
What decides a Klondike game
Skill gets you most of the way, but not all of it. The hidden cards and the order of the stock add some luck, so a deal can be lost even with good play. What you control is the order in which you uncover cards.
Runs and kings
Columns build down in alternating colors, and a whole descending run can move in one go. Only a king, or a run headed by a king, fills an empty column, so emptying one without a king ready often wastes it.
How to play Klondike Classic Solitaire
Build down in alternating colors on the seven columns and move whole runs between them. Draw from the stock when you are stuck. Move aces to the foundations and build each suit up to the king. Only kings go into empty columns.

Frequently asked questions
Is Klondike the same as Patience?
Yes. Klondike is the variant most often sold or installed under the name Solitaire, and in the UK it is often just called Patience.
Why can only a king go in an empty column?
That is the classic Klondike rule. Since kings cannot sit on any other card, an empty column is the only place to start a new run from the top.
