SolitaireSaratoga Solitaire at a glance
See the whole Klondike tableau from the first move and plan your route through it.
Seeing every tableau card removes guesswork, but it does not remove blockers. Identify the card a foundation needs next, then free the ordered tail above it before spending another Draw 3 turn.
Rules and objective
- Seven columns hold one through seven cards, all face up. The other 24 cards start in the stock.
- Build down in alternating colors. Only ordered alternating-color runs move together.
- Only a King or a run led by a King can fill an empty column.
- Draw three cards at a time; only the top waste card is playable. Redeals are unlimited.
- Build four foundations from Ace to King in suit to win.
The table enforces legal moves and saves the current deal in this browser. Hints identify a move that is available now; they do not guarantee that the deal can still be won.
Strategy: how to play better
First priority
Visible does not mean movable: free the cards covering the next foundation card.
Visible is not available
All tableau cards are face up, but only the movable tail of an ordered alternating-color run can travel. Work backward from the buried card you need.
Save a King for an opening
As in Klondike, only a King-led run starts an empty column. Clearing a space without a useful King can strand it.
Frequently asked questions
Is every face-up card immediately playable?
No. All tableau cards are visible, but a buried card is available only after the cards above it move away in a legal run.
Can any card start an empty column?
No. As in Klondike, only a King or a run headed by a King may fill the space.
