Play Klondike Solitaire Online

Microsoft bundled Klondike Solitaire with their Entertainment Pack for MS-DOS in 1990, a time when many computer games were text-based or relied on simple graphics. It was a straightforward digital version of the classic card game, designed to run on the hardware of the era, and it became a quiet staple on many office and home computers.

You control the cursor to move cards from the tableau or the stock pile, organizing them by alternating colors in descending order with the goal of building four foundation piles up from ace to king. The game requires you to flip cards from the stock three at a time, a rule that adds a significant layer of planning and luck management to each session. The pace is slow and thoughtful, with no timer, making it a game of patience and quiet concentration. It feels like a small, personal puzzle that offers a reliable escape during a slow afternoon.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
