Classic Klondike Solitaire, right in your browser. No sign-up, no waiting — just shuffle the deck and start winning.
Solitaire is one of the most beloved single-player card games ever created, and it has been entertaining people since long before computers existed. Originally played with a physical deck of 52 cards, Klondike Solitaire found its way onto millions of computers during the 1990s — becoming the most played computer game in history. Today, you can enjoy it instantly on any device, right here in your browser.
Our free online version stays true to the classic rules you know and love. The layout is familiar: seven tableau columns, four foundation piles in the top right corner, and a stock pile in the top left. You build foundation piles from Ace to King in each suit, while arranging tableau cards in alternating colors and descending rank. It sounds simple, but every game presents a fresh strategic puzzle.
There is a reason solitaire has endured for over a century. It strikes the perfect balance between relaxation and mental engagement. The game is light enough to play during a break yet complex enough to demand real strategic thinking. Research suggests that card games like Solitaire can help sharpen working memory, improve focus, and reduce stress — all while being genuinely fun.
The satisfaction of moving the last King to its foundation pile after a long game is hard to describe. Every shuffle deals a new challenge, and while not every deal is winnable, skilled players can complete roughly a third of games through smart play and disciplined thinking. That unpredictability is exactly what makes you come back for one more deal.
Klondike Solitaire uses a standard 52-card deck. Cards are dealt into seven tableau columns: the first column gets one card face-up, the second gets one face-down and one face-up, the third gets two face-down and one face-up, and so on. Remaining cards form the stock pile. You move cards by placing them on a card of the opposite color and the next higher rank — a black six on a red seven, for example. Stacks of correctly ordered cards can move together. Empty tableau columns can be filled only with a King or a King-led sequence. Your goal is to move all cards to the four foundation piles, building each suit from Ace up to King.
Whether you play for five minutes or five hours, Solitaire delivers a clean, rewarding experience with no distractions. Start a new game any time by clicking Restart, or go fullscreen to immerse yourself completely in the felt-green world of cards.

Take a moment to study the board. Seven columns of cards form the tableau. Four empty slots at the top right are your foundation piles. The deck sits top-left.
Click the stock pile to reveal new cards. Drawn cards land in the waste pile face-up. You can play any waste card if it fits somewhere on the board.
Move cards onto a tableau column only if they are one rank lower and opposite in color — a red 9 goes on a black 10. Build sequences to expose hidden cards underneath.
Every Ace you uncover goes straight to a foundation pile. Then build each suit upward: 2, 3, 4 … all the way to King. That is how you win.
When all four foundation piles run from Ace to King in their respective suits — clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades — you win! Hit Restart for a fresh deal.
