KLONDIKE SOLITAIRE
Perhaps one of the most popular cards games today is
solitaire. Klondike Solitaire is played using a layout as
shown with the Tableau containing 28 cards initially in 7
piles. The first pile, one card; the second, two cards; and
so on up to seven. The top card of each pile is face up;
all others are face down.
The Foundation is built by first placing each Ace as it
becomes available from the Tableau or Talon. As other cards
in suit and sequence become available, they are placed on
the proper pile of the Foundation.
The Object of the game is to get the four suits built onto
the Foundations up to the kings.
To play Klondike Solitaire using PC Mouse, cards are
selected from the Tableau or Talon with the LEFT Mouse
Button when the cursor is located inside the card. Move the
cursor to the desired place on the Tableau or Foundation and
push the LEFT Button again. This causes the card or cards
selected to be moved. Any face down cards on the Tableau
can be turned over by placing the cursor inside the card and
again pushing the LEFT Button.
To move the next three cards from the Stock pile to the
Talon, push the LEFT Button on the Stock pile and the next
group of three cards (or whatever remains) will appear on
the Talon, last card up.
If you select a card to be moved and decide you don't really
want to move it, you should push the LEFT button again with
the cursor positioned over the selected card.
The RIGHT Button can be used to move cards from the Tableau
or Talon to the Foundation without using the selection and
moving sequence with the LEFT Button. Note that the RIGHT
button is a short-cut: You can still use the LEFT button to
move cards to the Foundation.
On the screen is an "UNDO" Box to undo the last move. You
can use this Box to correct a mistake (which KLONDIKE will
call "Cheating"), or if you change your mind after moving a
card. You must "UNDO" your move before selecting another
card to be moved. Also, a REDEAL Box deals out a new hand
and a QUIT Box Ends a session. To select the UNDO Box or
the REDEAL or QUIT Box, you position the cursor over the Box
and push either Mouse Button. The middle button (if present)
can be used to UNDO also.
RULES OF KLONDIKE
Playing involves moving cards from Talon, Stock, or Tableau
to the Tableau. A selected card can be placed only on a
card next-higher in rank than the bottom card of a Tableau
pile and of opposite color. If more than one card is face
up on the Tableau pile, all such cards must be moved as a
unit. When all cards have been moved from a Tableau pile,
the void may only be filled with a king.
The rest of the deck after the Tableau is dealt forms the
Stock. Cards are taken three at a time from the Stock and
placed on the Talon. The upper most card of the Talon is
always available for play. When no play can be made from
the Talon, the next three cards are taken from the Stock.
When the Stock is exhausted, the Talon deck is turned over
and becomes the new Stock pile.
