KLONDIKE SOLITAIRE
Layout
Twenty-eight cards are dealt into seven piles, with the number
of cards per pile increasing from one to seven from left to
right. The top card of each pile is face up while the remaining
cards are face down. The most common way of dealing is by rows;
a face up card, then six face down; a face up card on the second
pile, then five face down. Continue this procedure until all
twenty-eight cards have been dealt out.
Foundation
All aces, as they become available, are moved to a row above the
layout. These are built up in suit to kings.
Play
Face up cards in the layout are built down in alternating
colors. Any number of face up cards may be moved from one pile
to another as a unit.
Whenever the face up cards are cleared off a pile, turn up the
top face down card if one or more exists. If a space is made by
clearing away an entire pile, the space may only be filled by a
king.
Cards are turned face up from the remaining deck, one at a time,
building them on the ace foundations or layout. Unplayable
cards are placed face up on a wastepile. The top card of the
wastepile is always available for play.
Continue playing in this manner until each of the ace
foundations are built up to kings or until you no longer have
any more moves.
STARTING KLONDIKE SOLITAIRE
From your DOS prompt, type KLONDIKE and press the ENTER key.

MAIN OPTIONS
Play
When selecting the Play option, the deck of 52 cards will be
shuffled and the layout will be dealt out. Place your mouse
cursor on the card you wish to move and press the left mouse
button. If the selected card can be moved to an ace foundation,
it will be placed for you. If the card cannot be moved to an
ace foundation, you will have to manually move the card to its
new destination. To do this, select a card to be moved by
pressing and holding down the left mouse button. Now drag the
card or group of cards to its destination and release the left
mouse button. Be sure to place the card or group of cards over
the destination card or space.
To deal the next card off the deck, place your mouse cursor on
deck and click the left mouse button. The remaining cards in
the deck will be located on the lower right portion of your
screen. One card will be dealt off the deck and placed above
the deck into a wastepile. The top card of the wastepile is
available for play.
If you wish to quit playing before the game is won, press the
right mouse button. You will be asked to verify if you really
want to quit.

Selecting the Quit option will end the game and return you to
your DOS prompt.
