About Solitaire Klondike - Treasure Island

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I move a group of cards—can I split it mid-drag?
No, you can only move a group as a whole sequence. You must pick up the top card and all cards below it in descending rank and alternating color, then place them together on a valid stack.
Can I place any card on an empty tableau column?
Yes, any card (including non-kings) can start a new column on an empty space, giving you flexibility to rearrange the board.
What if the stock pile runs out before I finish all four foundations?
You can click the empty stock area to reshuffle the waste pile back into the stock, but only once per game—use it wisely.
Do I have to build the foundation piles in ascending order starting with Ace?
Yes, each foundation pile must start with an Ace and build up to King within the same suit. You cannot skip ranks.
