About this video

Every rule of Klondike Solitaire, shown on a real board rather than described: the foundations, building down in alternating colours, why only a King enters an empty column, and the stock and redeal.

Learn Klondike Turn 1 rules on a real board: foundations, alternating colours, moving runs, the stock and empty columns.
