Free Solitaire Card Game Online — Classic Klondike Solitaire
Play classic Klondike Solitaire free online. Build four foundation piles from Ace to King. Free, no signup, works on mobile and desktop.
Skycally's Solitaire is a faithful implementation of Klondike Solitaire — the most popular single-player card game in the world. Build four foundation piles (one per suit) from Ace up to King. Cards can be moved between the seven tableau columns in descending order, alternating between red and black suits. Flip cards from the stock pile when no tableau moves are available.
Klondike Solitaire became one of the most played computer games in history after Microsoft included it with Windows 3.0 in 1990, ostensibly to help users learn mouse drag-and-drop skills. An estimated 35 million people play digital Solitaire daily. The game's appeal lies in its combination of luck and skill — not all deals are winnable, but skilled players can win far more often than chance alone would suggest.
The standard Klondike rules: tableau cards must alternate red/black and descend in rank. Only Kings (or columns containing a King sequence) can be placed in empty tableau columns. The stock pile deals one or three cards at a time (selectable). Only the top card of a tableau column's face-down cards can be revealed — flip it by moving all face-up cards above it.
Winning strategy starts with uncovering face-down tableau cards as the priority — they represent hidden options. Move Aces to foundations immediately. Be cautious about emptying a tableau column unless you have a King ready to fill it. When drawing from the stock, don't rush to play every card — sometimes waiting preserves better options.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play Klondike Solitaire?
Move cards between the 7 tableau columns in descending order, alternating red and black suits. Build 4 foundation piles (one per suit) from Ace to King. Draw from the stock pile when stuck.
How do I move cards to the foundation?
Drag an Ace to an empty foundation pile to start it. Then add cards of the same suit in ascending order: A, 2, 3... up to King.
What is the stock pile?
The face-down pile in the top left. Click it to deal one (or three) cards to the waste pile. You can cycle through the stock multiple times.
Can I move multiple cards at once?
Yes. You can drag an entire sequence of alternating-color cards as a group between tableau columns.
What can go in an empty tableau column?
Only a King or a sequence starting with a King can be placed in an empty tableau column.
Is every deal winnable?
No. An estimated 79% of Klondike deals are theoretically winnable, but not all of those are winnable with the cards visible. Some deals require lucky stock draws.
Does the game auto-complete when I'm winning?
When all face-down cards are revealed and the solution is clear, an auto-complete option may appear to send remaining cards to the foundation automatically.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes. Drag and drop cards with touch. The card layout scales to fit smartphones and tablets.
