Also sometimes referred to as Fascination, Triangle, Demon Patience, and Chinaman. This is also the same game as the familiar Microsoft Windows™ solitaire. Similar games in Solitaire Plus include Double Klondike and Canfield.
Layout
| • | Twenty-eight cards dealt in seven tableau piles. |
| • | The number of cards per pile increases from one to seven from left to right. |
| • | The top card of each pile is face up (exposed), the rest are face down (hidden). |
Play
| • | Build exposed cards down in value and alternating suit color. |
| • | The top card of a pile is always available for play on a foundation. |
| • | Exposed cards built down in value and alternating suit color can be moved as a unit if the bottommost card of the pile may be built on top of another pile. |
| • | Whenever the exposed cards of a pile are cleared away, the next card is exposed and becomes available for play. |
| • | A space made by clearing away an entire pile may be filled by only a King (plus the cards, if any, built on the King). |
Stock
| • | Turn up cards from the stock one or three at a time (see Variations below) in a discard pile. |
| • | The top card of the discard pile is available for play on foundations or tableau piles. |
| • | Unused cards in the discard pile are recycled after the stock is depleted. |
Foundations
| • | Move the four Aces to the row above the tableau as they are made available. |
| • | Build the foundations in ascending suit sequence from Ace to King. |
To Win
| • | Move all the cards to the foundations. |
Available Variations:
Tap the Settings button to select either one-card or three-card draw. Once a game is started, the number to draw cannot be altered without starting a new game. |

This particular implementation of Klondike has no limit on the number of times the discard pile may be recycled.
Scoring: One point for each card moved to a foundation. Maximum score is 52.
Chance of Winning: 1 in 30 games for three card draw variation. Better odds for one-card draw. Statistics for one card draw and three card draw are tracked separately.
