◦ Top card of each pile is face-up, the rest are face-down. - Stock (Draw Pile):
◦ The remaining cards after setting up the tableau.
◦ Players draw cards from here (usually 1 or 3 at a time, depending on settings). - Waste Pile:
◦ Drawn cards from the stock that are not immediately playable. - Foundations (Goal Piles):
◦ Four empty piles where you build up cards by suit from Ace to King.
2. Objective

So the goal of Classic Solitaire Game is to fill the four foundation stacks online with cards separated by suit and arranged in order of value, from lowest to highest (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King).
3. Rules of Classic Solitaire Game
A. Moving Cards in the Tableau
- When you start the Classic Solitaire game online you will have the option of drawing 1 or 3 solitaire cards. But drawing three will make the game more challenging.
- You must arrange the cards in the tableau in descending order (King → Queen → … → Ace) and alternating colors (red/black).
For example: A Black King (♠ or ♣) can be placed on a Red Queen (♥ or ♦). A Red 7 (♥ or ♦) can be placed on a Black 8 (♠ or ♣).
Also you can move a sequence of cards if they follow the correct order and colors. - Empty tableau slots can only be filled with a King (or a sequence starting with a King).
- Click on a face-down solitaire card to flip it face up and see its value in Classic Solitaire Game.
B. Using the Stock and Waste Pile
- Click (or flip) the stock to draw 1 or 3 cards (depending on game settings).
- You can play the top card of the waste pile onto the tableau or foundations.
- If the stock runs out, you can redeal the waste pile again in Classic Solitaire Game.
- Click on the deck in the upper left corner to draw cards. You can drag Kings to empty card stacks.
C. Building Foundations
- Foundations in Classic Solitaire start with an Ace and build up by suit (A-2-3-…-K).
- You can move cards from the tableau or waste pile to foundations.
- Drag or double click Aces to add them to the four “card foundations” that can be found in the upper right corner of Classic Solitaire game.
4. Winning the Classic Solitaire Game Online
- You win when all four foundation piles are complete (Ace to King in each suit).
- If no more moves are possible and the stock is empty, you lost the game.
