About Arkadium's Klondike Solitaire

Klondike is the solitaire most people grew up with. A single deck is dealt into seven columns, called the tableau, with only the top card of each column face up. The rest of the deck sits in a stock pile you can draw from when you run out of moves. Your goal is to move all 52 cards onto four foundation piles, one for each suit, building each from Ace up to King. It sounds simple, but smart choices make all the difference.

In the tableau, you can stack cards in descending order with alternating colors, such as a black 9 on a red 10. Moving a card or a group of cards often uncovers a face-down card, and revealing those hidden cards is the key to winning. Only a King, or a stack that starts with a King, can fill an empty column. Arkadium's Klondike Solitaire comes from Arkadium, a studio well known for classic card and puzzle games, and it keeps the focus on clean, straightforward play.

How to Play Arkadium's Klondike Solitaire

  1. Look over the seven tableau columns and move any available Aces straight to the foundation spots.
  2. Drag cards onto other columns in descending order and alternating colors, like a red 6 onto a black 7.
  3. Move cards off face-down piles whenever possible so the hidden cards underneath get flipped and become playable.
  4. Click the stock pile to draw new cards when you run out of useful moves on the tableau.
  5. Fill empty columns only with a King or a stack that begins with a King.
  6. Build each foundation by suit from Ace up to King until all 52 cards are placed.

Tips and Tricks

  • Prioritize moves that flip a face-down card. Every hidden card you reveal opens new options, while shuffling face-up cards around rarely helps.
  • Do not rush to fill an empty column. Wait until you have a King ready that will help free up other buried cards.
  • Work on the columns with the most face-down cards first, since they hold the cards most likely to block your progress.
  • Think twice before moving mid-value cards to the foundations, because you may still need them in the tableau to hold cards of the opposite color.
  • Before drawing from the stock, scan the tableau once more. Missed moves on the board are one of the most common reasons games stall.

Arkadium's Klondike Solitaire FAQ

What are the basic rules of Klondike?

Build the tableau downward in alternating colors, uncover the face-down cards, and use the stock pile when you are stuck. You win by moving all four suits onto the foundations in order from Ace to King.

Can every game of Klondike be won?

No. Some deals cannot be solved no matter how well you play, because key cards end up buried in the wrong places. Good strategy wins far more games, but an occasional unwinnable deal is part of Klondike.

What can go in an empty column?

Only a King, or a group of cards starting with a King, can be placed in an empty tableau column. That is why it pays to save open columns for the moment a King can unlock buried cards.

Can I play Arkadium's Klondike Solitaire on a school Chromebook?

Yes. Arkadium's Klondike Solitaire runs in the Chrome browser on Chromebooks, Windows PCs and Macs with nothing to install. It is designed for a keyboard and mouse, so it plays best on a computer rather than a phone.
