Getting Started with Solitaire

Solitaire (also known as Klondike or Patience) is played with a standard 52-card deck

There are 4 main areas in Solitaire:

 1. Tableau

The main play area has 28 cards laid out in 7 columns.

  • Build cards down in rank (King → Queen → Jack, etc.).

  • Alternate colors (red on black, black on red).

  • You can move groups of cards if they’re stacked correctly.

  • When you uncover a face-down card, it flips automatically.

  • Only a King (or a sequence starting with one) can fill an empty space. 

2. Draw Pile (Stock)

The Draw Pile contains the remaining 24 cards, placed face down.

    • Tap to draw cards, which may be played onto the Tableau or Foundation.

    • Once all stock cards are used, they are recycled from the Waste pile and back into the Draw pile.

  • Tip: For a more challenging game, go to Menu → Settings → Draw 3 to flip three cards at a time.

3. Waste Pile

This is where the drawn cards from the Stock pile are placed face-up.

  • Only the top card can be played.

  • Tap or drag the card to the Tableau or a Foundation pile.

  • When the Waste runs out, it refills from the Draw pile.

4. Foundation

The goal of Solitaire!

  • Build each Foundation by suit, starting with Ace and ending with King.

  • There are four Foundations, one for each suit (♥♦♣♠).

  • When all four are complete, you win! 🎉

💡 Bonus Tips

  • Undo: Tap the Undo button to undo your previous move and try again.

  • Reveal: Uncover a random hidden card from the foundation if you’re stuck.

  • Vegas Mode: For a money-style challenge — $52 starting cash, $1 per deal, +$5 for each card moved to the Foundation. Enable in Menu → Settings → Scoring → Vegas Scoring.
