About Solitaire Quest
The final card snaps onto the King with a quiet click, and all four foundation piles stand complete—Ace through King in every suit. Solitaire Quest delivers that moment of clean resolution by respecting the classic Klondike rules: a tableau of cards, each move building a descending, alternating-colour sequence toward the four piles that end the game. The payoff is the tableau itself, row by row, stripping down to empty columns and one triumphant stack per suit.
Solitaire Quest turns card sorting into a satisfying puzzle. Organize stacks from Ace to King, clearing the tableau piece by piece. Each move requires a little strategy—deciding which card to flip or move next. The clean, calm design makes it easy to focus, and every completed sequence feels rewarding. It’s simple to pick up, but the challenge grows as you refine your sorting skills with each new deal.
How to Play Solitaire Quest

Tips & Strategies
- Prioritise revealing face-down tableau cards early to open new move options.
- Keep an eye on empty tableau columns—they only accept a King or a King sequence.
- Avoid moving a card from a foundation pile back to the tableau unless it frees a critical move.
- Build sequences in the tableau as long as possible before committing to foundation piles.
- Use the undo feature to experiment with different move orders without penalty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move a card from the foundation pile back to the tableau?
Yes, you can drag a foundation card back to the tableau if needed, but it is rarely beneficial and may slow your progress.
What happens when I press OK on a face-down card?
Selecting a face-down card does nothing—you must first reveal it by removing the card(s) on top of it.
How do I know if a move is valid on the tableau?
A valid tableau move requires the card you place to be one rank lower and the opposite colour of the card it lands on.
Can I place any card on an empty tableau column?
Only a King or a complete King sequence (descending, alternating colours) can be placed on an empty tableau column.
What is the goal of the foundation piles?
Each foundation pile must be built from Ace to King in a single suit. Completing all four piles wins the game.
