Klondike Solitaire

Klondike Solitaire, commonly known as just "Solitaire," is a classic single-player card game. The objective is to move all the cards to foundation piles, following specific rules.

Setup:

1. Use a standard 52-card deck for Klondike.
2. Shuffle the deck and deal seven tableau columns from left to right, with the first column having one card, the second two cards, and so on, until the seventh column has seven cards.
3. Place the remaining cards face down as the draw pile. The top card of the draw pile is turned face up to create the discard pile.

Objective:

1. The goal is to build four foundation piles in ascending order, starting with an Ace and ending with a King, for each of the four suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades).

Round Play:

1. Cards in the tableau columns are arranged in descending order and alternating colours. For example, a black 10 can be placed on a red Jack.
2. You can move a sequence of cards if they are in descending order and of the same suit. For example, you can move the 5 of Hearts and 4 of Hearts together to the 6 of Hearts if it's available.
3. You can move a King to an empty tableau column or a sequence of cards ending with a King.
4. Cards can be moved from the tableau columns to the foundation piles if they match the suit and are in ascending order. For example, you can move the Ace of Hearts to the foundation, followed by the 2 of Hearts, and so on.
5. Any face-up card can be placed on another face-up card of the opposite colour and one rank higher. For example, you can place the 6 of Spades on the 7 of Hearts. This can be done within tableau columns or from the tableau to the foundation.
6. You can draw cards from the draw pile (one at a time) to the discard pile. If a card is moved to the discard pile, the card beneath it becomes available for play. You can go through the draw pile as many times as necessary.
7. When there are no more available moves on the tableau or with the draw pile, the game is over. To win, you must have built all foundation piles with a King as the top card.

Winning:

1. The game is won when all four foundation piles are built in ascending order, each starting with an Ace and ending with a King.

Tips:

• Plan your moves carefully and consider the implications of each move on future plays.
• Prioritize moving cards to the foundation when possible.
• Empty tableau columns are valuable for moving Kings and sequences.
• Use the draw pile wisely, as it can be a critical resource for making the right moves.
