Objective

The classic draw solitaire everyone knows. Difficulty: Easy.

Rules

  1. Deal seven tableau columns: the first has one card, the last has seven; only the top card of each column starts face up.
  2. Build foundations from Ace to King in the same suit.
  3. On the tableau, build down in alternating colors. You may move face-up sequences together.
  4. Turn cards from the stock (draw one or three, depending on mode). Empty columns can be filled with a King.

Tips to win more often

  • Reveal face-down cards early — information beats speed.
  • Prefer emptying a column when you have a King ready.
  • Do not rush Aces up if they block useful tableau moves.
