Klondike Solitaire
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Klondike solitaire is very similar to classic solitaire. The object of this game is to stack all the cards in the ascending order from Ace to King. When you stack the cards they must be in opposite colors each time.
When you first start your game you want to try and find as many Ace cards as you can, usually the first one can be hard to find and sometimes it’s one of the first cards you see.
Once you find an ACE card you can double click it and it will be sent up to one of the 4 columns in the upper right hand corner:

The objective is to move all the cards to their foundations built up rank and suit from Ace to King.
When you begin your screen may look like this. You want to start building foundations in order of suit and rank but you can only move one card at a time. This game requires skill and patience. It is not easily won.
When moving a suited card you can only move it the same suited card. You must move the same colored suited card as well. If you can no longer make any plays you can re-deal your cards into sets of 4. You will find that you will use the stock to reshuffle your cards very often. You can reshuffle the cards by clicking on the stack in the stop left corner.
When you find a card that you are able to move you may find that there is a card underneath that can be used BUT cannot be moved due to you can only move one card at a time. For instance, you could have 3 movable cards: a 3, 4 and 5 but when you move the 3 you find a 6 card that you can no longer use since you have moved your cards to cover the 5 suit. At that point you can try and continue to play if you have some other cards to move or you will have to re-shuffle your cards again.
Continue to uncover the cards and you will soon be able to move suited cards up to their foundations.
You will soon build your foundations and there will be empty spaces within your columns. You may not place cards there which makes the game a little bit harder to play but that is where the skill comes in to play.
At this point you have pretty much aced the game. Continue to uncover your cards and before you know it you have won!

Baker’s Solitaire
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
The objective is to move all your suited cards to the right starting from Ace and ending with King.
In this version of solitaire you can place the same color card on top of another. For example you may place a red Queen on top of a red King. You may only move one card at a time rather than moving a column as you would in traditional solitaire. (Use caution when choosing which cards to move as after you have moved you are unable to move that card back.)
When you start the screen will look like this:
Try and find all your Aces and move them to the right hand columns. As you come upon cards that you can move to their respective foundations on the right, you can simply click that card and it will automatically be moved to the correct pile on the right hand side.
Remember you can move a black suited card to another black suited card as same color suited cards are not an issue with this game. Keep in mind that you can only move one card at a time rather than a column of cards. Take time to look at your deck. You want to make sure any card you move to get to an Ace or a card you need will not end the game for you. If there is an empty column you are unable to move any cards there, such as in the original solitaire game.
Even though you have all your Aces moved and cards are available to move you still may be stuck:
If you run out of suits to move you may have to start over again until you can get all the cards moved. Try and build up each column as much as possible using the King card. As you dwindle down your cards you will be able to get through the game quicker and all the moves will become easier. This game takes some skill and a lot of patience. Congratulations, you’ve won!
