Back in 1990s inclusion of Solitaire, Minesweeper in Windows has resulted in billions of hours of lost productivity over the years. As any other successful game, millions of Solitaire clones have been created on all possible platforms. So why should you give our version a try? We tried to recreate all the fun of original game in a tiny download package. This Solitaire (Klondike version) will not take more cards than can be moved to another stack. Drag and drops whole column, only suitable cards will move, others snap back. The game will move proper card to foundation whenever possible to minimize clicks, taps and drags. Three different difficulty modes to control how many cards being opened, how many deck turnovers allowed and if King (vs any card) is required to initialize empty pile. The scoring reflects number of moves and the level - the lower the better. Use menu (top-right corner) for undo, change difficulty, check score, help or to start a new game. Don't forget to check our Game section for other fun games...
