Read before your next round of Klondike Solitaire
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Begin with the objective. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Use another round to revisit a decision.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
