Similarly, cards in the tableau can be moved around to other columns where there is a card of the opposite color and an incrementally higher number.

Either a 7 of Spades or Clubs from the stock pile can be placed on top of it. For example, let’s say there is an 8 of Hearts in the third column of the tableau.

Stock pile cards can be placed below a card in the tableau if that card is of the opposite color and a number one rank higher.

Specifically, the first column has 1 card, the second column has 2 cards and so on until the seventh column, which has 7 cards. The tableau is the group of cards with the seven columns, with the last card of each column turned facing up, and with each column having an additional card.

Cards from the stock pile can also be placed in the tableau.

If your second card is a 2 of Spades from the stock pile, you can then place that on top of the Ace of Spades in the foundation. For example, if you happen to have an Ace of Spades as the first card turned over from your stockpile, you can place that card on the foundation pile for Spades.

Cards can be moved directly to the foundation if they are in the correct order.

These cards can either go into the foundation or the tableau, the area where the cards are laid out in a staircase fashion below the stockpile. Each card is removed from the stockpile one at a time, or three at a time, depending on if you are playing Turn 1 or Turn 3.

On the top left, you’ll see a stack of cards.

You move cards into the foundation by dispensing cards from the stock pile and sequencing all cards in the tableau. Each pile represents a different suit and should be filled in order, starting with the Ace all the way to the King. These are the four empty areas at the top of the game. To win, you want to place all the cards in the four foundation piles. When you hear the game Solitaire, in general it refers to Klondike Solitaire.
