How to play Klondike Solitaire

Klondike is the most popular solitaire game, often refered to as just 'solitaire' and sometimes 'patience.'

Click on the stock to the upper left to deal three cards. You can turn the stock over three times.
The tableau can be built in descending order by alternating color.
You can move single cards from the tableau to the foundations.
You can move cards by group around the tableau.
You can move single cards from the waste pile to the tableau or directly to the foundations.
When you dig down in a tableau pile and hit a face-down card, you can click it to turn it over.
When you remove all the cards from a tableau pile, you can move a king to the empty space, or a group of cards that starts with a king.
Move all cards to the foundations to complete the game.
