First time seeing this in KPatience. The game shouldn’t even start if it isn’t solvable though but it’s something.

      The idea is to have four stacks of cards at the top. One for each suit, ace thru king. Once you get that you win.

      You can move cards around the bottom by stacking them in descending order (King thru 2), in alternating colors (red, black).

      You can move multiple cards to a new stack if it’s suitable.

      You can turn the upside down cards on the bottom once there are no face-up cards covering them.

      When the bottom stacks are empty, you can start a new stack in that spot, but only with a King.

      The draw pile at the top is where the different sets of rules come into play…some people draw 1 at a time, some draw three at a time. Some people also play with a limit of how many times you can loop through the draw pile.

      There’s also a scoring system but that’s unimportant for most people unless they really care. After all, solitaire is a one player game.

      Since no one mentioned it yet, this is the classic card game “Klondike”.

      KPatience is a program that implements multiple such card games…

      The ultimate goal is to gather all 4 types of cards to top right empty slots from the smallest card to biggest card (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K).

      You pull from the main deck 1 or 3 at a time (1 is easier) and you can only put that card under a bigger one. Also only K cards can be placed on a completely emptied out slots under. Sorting should be opposite colour too (If you pull 10 black, you can only place it under J red). Black if red, red if black.

      I hope I was clear.
