SOLITAIRE FOR BEGINNERS
Solitaire or Klondike Solitaire, 1-Card Draw, has been played for the last couple of centuries with playing cards (just for a little historical perspective). This particular game is so popular that it's often just called Solitaire. After the seven columns of the array are laid out, make all the moves or plays available among the columns and to the Ace piles (also called the foundations or Ace stacks).Then, holding the rest of the cards, called the hand (or stock), face down, make the first pass through them; take one from the top and turn it over for play. If it can't be put either on one of the Ace piles, or on one of the seven columns, put it face up on the waste pile (also called the talon). Continue to the next card in the hand, and play it if you can, or place it on the waste pile face up. Also make other moves as they become available among the seven columns. After going through the whole hand in this manner, turn the waste pile over; it then becomes the hand again. Continue this cycle of making passes through the hand, and playing cards to either the columns or the Ace piles, until no more moves can be made. The game is won if all the cards get moved up to their Ace piles.
