The original desktop time-killer, now available without your IT department noticing it's installed.
Klondike Solitaire's exact origins are murky — card-game historians trace solitaire-style patience games back to 18th-century Europe — but its modern ubiquity has one clear cause: Microsoft shipped it free with every copy of Windows starting in 1990, explicitly to get an entire generation comfortable dragging and dropping with a mouse. It worked almost too well. By the mid-90s, Solitaire was reportedly responsible for more lost office hours than any other piece of software in history, simple enough that nobody needed instructions and replayable enough that nobody ever really finished with it. The deck reshuffles, the odds change, and the pull to clear just one more board hasn't faded in three decades.
Sort all cards into the four foundation piles by suit and ascending order, using the tableau and draw pile to uncover what you need.
Scored by completion time in minutes and seconds — lower is better. Faster clears rank higher on the leaderboard.
It's the one game your boss definitely played at their old job too, which makes it borderline impossible to criticise.
Yes — standard Klondike, the version most people grew up with.
The game will let you know when no further moves are possible, and you can start a fresh deal.
By time, in minutes and seconds. A faster clear ranks higher, and lower is better.
One at a time. When the draw pile runs out, you can turn the pile back over and go through it again.
When all four foundation piles are complete. If you do not finish the deal, there is no time to record.
