The name of this specific solitaire is Klondike. Hundreds of different solitaire games exist in books and computer programs; I've played about 200 of them. I don't get why Klondike is the most popular, though. It takes longer to deal out and play than many single deck solitaires, offers little scope for skill, and can't be won often. Cole explains Klondike well in this video, but you should get a solitaire book if you're interested in learning more. I can recommend _Chambers Card Games for One_ and _The Complete Book of Solitaire and Patience Games_ out of the solitaire books still in circulation.

When I was younger, I used to play solitaire all the time on Windows-based computers (I only recently got into Apple😅). It was addictive. It’s been a while since I played, but now that there’s Solitaire Cash (This is not an ad, just telling it like it is) I’m gonna get back into it. I just needed a “refresher course” on how to play, and this video was perfect!👍🏽 But that one part about losing a game…I remember from when I was a kid, being under the impression that it’s possible to win every game of solitaire no matter how the cards were dealt. If you just sat there and thought things through or just started moving things around and trying different approaches, one could win any game. I guess not.😔

[@emberhydra7621]

So what happens if I start the game and can't do anything. Have a lost before even beginning???

Thanks! I just started playing only using the basic idea for a while. It's not so easy. I'm sure this won't increase my chances of winning by much but I LEARNED THE CORRECT procedure and it will add a few new dynamics to the game. Thanks again! :)

[@reillywalker195]

Drawing one card at a time with unlimited redeals moving any length of sequence and worrying back cards from the foundations to the tableau, your odds of winning are about 4 in 5. Drawing three at a time under the same rules, your odds drop to roughly 1 in 5. Under the game's strictest rules-drawing one at a time with no redeal or three at a time with two redeals, allowing only entire sequences to be moved to other piles, and no worrying back-your odds drop to 1 in 30. If your win rates are within those ballparks, you're playing just fine.

I remember back in the late 90s/early2000s, trying to play this game on our family’s bulky computer because it was the only game that came with Microsoft software. I NEVER understood how to play it and could never figure out why I couldn’t move the cards wherever I wanted to. Haha! But now it’s so satisfying to play. Maybe someday I’ll use a real deck of cards.

I have seen other 'rules' too, so created my own. I don't bring cards down from the foundation, and once my draw pile is locked up (same few cards in rotation) I go to a twice-only draw of every card in the waste pile with each card a must-play. My win/loss ratio makes these changes acceptable (I lose often enough) ..

I also play using three cards at a time from the deck. I came to this video as I had a question about which card should be used if there is a gap, and was pleased to find it had to be king, as I thought. Cheers. Robert,uk.

I remember really being annoyed at myself for not getting a simple premise for this game. it's not actually that hard. u might just think there are like said a lot of things to focus on in this game and it might confuse beginners.
