Quickfire Rules: Klondike Solitaire is completed by moving all 52 cards from the playing area into the four foundation spaces at the top of the screen, in order from Ace (low) to King (high). One foundation is available for each suit. To do this, players must make piles of cards in consecutive order and alternating red and black, to reveal other cards hidden below. These cards can be moved from other piles, or from the stock. Once a face down card is revealed in a pile it is then turned face up and can consequently be moved into other piles, or the foundation. Empty piles can be filled with a King. When no face up cards in the piles can be moved, players may turn over cards from the stock, either in groups of three or one at a time (see Settings). Face up stock cards can be moved into piles, or directly into the foundations. When all the stock cards have been turned over, they can be recycled – turned face down again and redrawn. Be aware, completing the game is not always possible!
