GAME MODES

KLONDIKE SOLITAIRE

In Klondike Solitaire, cards are dealt to the deck 3-at-a-time and the player can pass through the deck indefinitely. Twenty (20) points are deducted for each pass through the deck after the player has gone through the deck three (3) times. The object of Klondike Solitaire is to use all the cards in the deck to build four suit stacks in order from Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King.

Card Stacks

You will be dealt twenty-eight cards in seven row stacks. You will build each row stack card face up, in alternating colors, in the order of King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. As the game progresses, you will move these cards to the suit stacks.

Deck

When you cannot move any cards in the row stack, you can draw a new card from the deck.

•To draw a card from the deck, press the DECK button until the card flashes. Press the CARD STACK button corresponding to the location you want to move the card or the SUITS button . The number of passes through the deck is unlimited.

Suit Stacks

At the beginning of the game, they are empty. When you draw an Ace, press the CARD STACK button corresponding with the loca- tion of the Ace until the card is flashing. Then, press the SUITS button to move it to its proper suit stack.

Timer/Bonus

The number of bonus points you will receive depends upon how quickly you win the game. [Note: Timer can only be turned on/off at the start of a game, prior to your first card move]

Undo

You’ll lose 2 points from your score each time you undo your last move. You will also lose any points awarded for the original move.
