Play Klondike Solitaire with the rules at hand
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Work at your own pace. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
A focus for your next round
Keep the active rule in mind. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.
