KLONDIKE SOLITAIRE

In Klondike Solitaire, cards are dealt to the deck 3-

at-a-time and the player can pass through the deck

indefinitely.  Twenty (20) points are deducted for

each pass through the deck after the player has

gone through the deck three (3) times.  The object

of Klondike Solitaire is to use all the cards in the

deck to build four suit stacks in order from Ace, 2,

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King.  

Card Stacks

You will be dealt twenty-eight cards in seven row

stacks.  You will build each row stack card face up,

in alternating colors, in the order of King, Queen,

Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.  As the game pro-

gresses, you will move these cards to the suit

stacks.

Deck

When you cannot move any cards in the row stack,

you can draw a new card from the deck.

• To draw a card from the deck, press the DECK

button until the card flashes.  Press the CARD

STACK button corresponding to the location you

want to move the card or the SUITS  button . The

number of passes through the deck is unlimited.

Suit Stacks

At the beginning of the game, they are empty. When

you draw an Ace, press the CARD STACK button

corresponding with the location of the Ace until the

card is flashing.  Then, press the SUITS button to

move it to its proper suit stack.

Timer/Bonus

The number of bonus points you will receive

depends upon how quickly you win the game.

[Note: Timer can only be turned on/off at the start

of a game, prior to your first card move.]

Undo

You’ll lose 2 points from your score each time you

undo your last move.  You will also lose any points

awarded for the original move.

Basic Rules of Klondike Solitaire

• Row stacks must be built in descending order of

King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. 

• Suit stacks must be built in ascending order of

Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and

King.

• You must play cards in alternating colors in row

stacks.  For example, you can play a red card

(Outlined) on a black card (Solid), or a black card

(Solid) on a red card (Outlined).

• A card at the top of a card stack can be moved to

its corresponding suit stack, as long as the card

you are moving is the next the card in the

sequence.  For example, you can move a 3 of

hearts from a card stack or the deck and place it

on top of a 2 of hearts in a suit stack.

• A sequence of cards can be moved, as a unit, and

placed on top of another card.  For example, a

red 6, black 5 and red 4 can be highlighted and

placed on top of a black 7. 

• When you turn over an Ace, move it to the suits

stack.
