The earliest rules for the game known as Klondike today appear in the 1907 edition of Hoyle's Games under the name "Seven-Card Klondike". History Īccording to Tung (2015), the game became popular in the late 19th century, and may well have been named "Klondike" after the Canadian region where the Klondike Gold Rush happened in 1896–1899. Likewise the rumour prevails that this other game was devised by Richard Canfield even though Canfield himself called his game "Klondike". Today, however, Canfield is more usually the American name for the patience game called " Demon" in England, which is a different game altogether. Historically Klondike was also called Canfield in America, perhaps because it was a casino game at the Canfield Casino in Saratoga Springs, New York, and this is the name by which it became known in England. Elsewhere the game is known as American Patience. Equally in the UK, it is often just known as " Patience". and Canada, it is so well known that the term Solitaire, in the absence of qualifiers, typically refers to Klondike. The distinguishing feature of all variants is a triangular layout of the tableau, building in ascending sequence and packing in descending order. Partly because of that, it has spawned numerous variants including Batsford, Easthaven, King Albert, Thumb and Pouch, Somerset or Usk and Whitehead, as well as the American variants of the games, Agnes and Westcliff. Klondike, also known as Canfield, is a card game for one player and the best known and most popular version of the patience or solitaire family, something which "defies explanation" as it has one of the lowest rates of success of any such game.

Players who wish to play that only Kings may fill empty Columns are free to restrict themselves to that rule.Canfield, Solitaire, Patience, Seven up, SevensĪgnes (Bernauer), Batsford, Easthaven, King Albert, Thumb and Pouch, Somerset or Usk, American Westcliff Solitaire Network's general approach is to be liberal with the rules. Many people also play that only Kings may fill empty Columns. Solitaire Network's version of Klondike allows for any card(s) to be placed in empty Columns. When a card from the Discard Pile is played then the new top card can also be played. Only the top card of the Discard Pile may be played elsewhere. When no cards remain in the Stock, the cards from the Discard Pile can be flipped over and gone through an unlimited number of times. StockĬards from the Stock are flipped three at a time to a Discard Pile. When a face down card is the topmost card in a Column, it is flipped face up.Įmpty Columns may be filled with any card or cards that may be validly moved. The topmost card in any Column is available for play to either another Column or a Foundation. For example, the sequence Q ♦, J ♣, 10 ♥ can all be moved onto the K ♠ because the connecting cards (the K and Q) follow the rule that cards are built Down and in Alternating Color. For example, a red 6 ♥ or 6 ♦ may be placed on a black 7 ♣ or 7 ♠.Īll face up cards in any Column are available for movement to another Column as long as the build rule is followed. ColumnsĬolumns are built DOWN in ALTERNATING COLOR. For example, a 2 ♣ can be placed on an A ♣, then a 3 ♣, then a 4 ♣, 5 ♣, 6 ♣, 7 ♣, 8 ♣, 9 ♣, 10 ♣, J ♣, Q ♣, up to the K ♣. Foundationsįoundations are built UP and IN SUIT starting with an Ace and ending with a King.
All cards are dealt face down except for the last card in each Column. The 1st Column is dealt one card, the 2nd is dealt 2, 3rd 3, up to the 7th column which is dealt 7 cards. Using one deck, 28 cards are dealt to the layout. Move all cards to the four Foundation piles from Ace to King in the same suit.
