-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.1. Object of the Game ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The object of Klondike Solitaire is to find the aces and build on them in suit
- and in ascending order. Cards are played on the seven columns dealt across the
- board or the stacks that are built on the aces. The game is over when the
- stacks are complete (ace through king) or no further plays can be made.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.2. Playing the Game ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- When you start a game, the cards are dealt across the board and arranged in
- seven columns. To play, move cards to the columns so they are arranged in
- descending sequence and in alternate colors; for example, a black 9 on a red
- 10. Use the mouse to select the cards you want to move, depress one of the
- mouse buttons, then drag the cards to their new location and release the mouse
- button. When an ace appears, move it to its corresponding stack to the right,
- and begin to build the stack with cards of the same suit in ascending order.
- Whenever a move leaves an empty space, only a king (and its accompanying row)
- can be moved to the empty space.
-
- An upturned row can be moved to another column, as long as the bottom card of
- the column being moved is in the correct descending sequence and alternate
- color with the card to which it is moved. When an upturned column has been
- moved and leaves a card face-down, turn the card over and continue playing.
-
- When all possible moves have been made from the original columns, turn the top
- three cards on the remainder of the deck. (The number of cards you turn
- depends on what variation of the game you have selected to play.) If possible,
- play the top card on one of the columns or stacks. If the top card can be
- played, subsequent cards can also be played. Continue to build on the columns
- or stacks until no more plays are possible. Then turn the next three cards and
- play them in the same way.
-
- The game is finished when all stacks contain ace through king in ascending
- order, or when you have been through the deck as many times as allowed and no
- further plays are possible.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.3. Rules of the Game ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- o Play cards on the seven columns in descending order and alternating
- colors.
- o Build on the aces in ascending order and the same suit.
- o Fill empty spaces with kings only.
- o A card can be moved to the foundation (ace stacks) by depressing a mouse
- button twice.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11.4. Helpful Hints ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- o Play all cards whenever possible before turning the next three cards
- (depending on the variation) from the deck.
- o Turn up face-down cards whenever possible.
