Solitaire games

Choose the rule you want to practise. Klondike uses one deck and four Ace-to-King suit foundations, with Draw 1 and Draw 3 stock variants. Spider uses two decks and eight completed King-to-Ace runs, with one, two or four suits. These settings belong to two different games; they are not interchangeable modes. Mahjong solitaire is a third kind: no cards, but 144 tiles in a layered layout, removed in pairs of the same free tile.

Choosing your game

How do Klondike and Spider differ?

Klondike builds four suit foundations from Ace to King and alternates colours on the tableau. Spider clears eight same-suit King-to-Ace runs from ten columns. Their stock rules and goals are different.

Are Draw 3 and three suits the same thing?

No. Draw 3 describes Klondike stock access. Spider here offers one, two or four suits. Choose a game first, then its real setting.
