Klondike Solitaire, the way it should be: no advertisements, no purchases, no accounts, and nothing to sign up for. Deal a hand and play. Every card is drawn as vector art rather than a picture, so the deck stays sharp at any size — full screen on a Mac, or a phone held sideways on a train. HOW IT PLAYS • Deal three, with unlimited passes through the deck • Tap a card and it goes where it belongs — to its foundation if it fits there, otherwise to the best column • Drag a card, or a whole run, to place it yourself • Undo as far back as you like, right to the opening deal • Score carries from hand to hand, so a good run is worth something WHEN YOU WIN Every card face up and the deck done means the game can no longer be lost. A door opens at the foot of the table and four gnomes troop out, hold up a banner, and troop back in — with a tune to match. Both can be switched off if you would rather they did not. NO PURCHASE It's free and runs on Mac, iPad and iPhone. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Nothing is collected, nothing is tracked and the game never asks for the network. Your score and your game in progress are kept on your own device.
