The Basic Solitaire Directions

Classic solitaire, also called Klondike solitaire, is a one-person card game available on most computers. The object is to use all the cards in your deck to create four "suite stacks." The most challenging part about learning to play is learning all the legal moves -- there are very specific rules concerning which cards can go where. After a few games of solitaire, these rules should become second nature to you.

Shuffle your cards, then lay down a horizontal row of six cards with the face down. Place a seventh card next to these cards, face up. Place five cards face down on top of your first five face down cards, and place a sixth card face up on your sixth face down card. Then, place four cards face down on the same rows, and a fifth card face up. You need to wind up with seven stacks of cards, with each stack containing one more face-down card than the stack next to it.

Place four cards face down on the same rows, and a fifth card face up. Continue until you have seven stacks of cards with each stack containing one more face down card than the stack next to it.

Place the remaining cards face down in a pile.

Place an exposed card onto any other exposed card of an opposite suite and one greater value. Aces are low.

Place any aces you see above your rows of cards to create suite stacks. Place a card that is one greater than the current top card, and in the same suite (hearts, clubs, spades or diamonds), to build a suite stack.

Flip over any face-down cards once you move the face-up card on top of it to a different location.

Place kings in any empty card stack spaces. No other cards may be moved to the empty space.

Flip over a card from the larger deck when you run out of other legal moves. You can add the new card to a row, suite stack or empty space where appropriate. If you can't make any legal moves with the new card, continue flipping though your deck until you find a card you can use. Never shuffle the larger deck. When you run out of cards, flip through it again.

End the game when you fill all of your suite stacks, or if you run out of legal moves.
