Klondike

One deck Draw: 1 · 3

StockWasteFoundationTableau

Goal: build all four foundations up from Ace to King, each in a single suit.

Tableau columns build down in alternating colour (e.g. a red 6 on a black 7). Move a single card or a valid run.
Only face-up cards can be picked up; uncovering a face-down card flips it.
An empty column can be started with a King (or a run headed by a King).
Draw from the stock to the waste; recycle the waste back to the stock when it runs out.
Your score, kept for a win: 10 for each card on the foundations, 5 for each tableau card turned up, and 100 off each time the waste goes back into the stock. It never drops below 0.

The classic layout: a stock that draws one card and recycles its waste, four foundations, and seven columns dealt diagonally one step at a time. This is Klondike; the other variants change a line or two. Make a game explains every part of it.
