Solitaire

Build four foundation piles from Ace to King in each suit.

This version of Solitaire has classic Klondike Solitaire rules. The goal is to build four foundation piles, one for each suit, starting with Aces and ending with Kings. Cards in the tableau can be stacked in alternating colors in descending order (King to Ace). Empty tableau spaces can be filled with Kings.

Move cards between columns to uncover face-down cards. Use the draw pile when you run out of moves.

Victory is achieved when all cards are sorted into the foundation piles!
