# 2.2. Klondike

Klondike is the most famous patience - most likely because an often used operating system comes with it. It is played with one deck.

Goal of Klondike is to put all cards as real families ascending on the foundation. This works usually pretty well as soon as all cards are lying face up in the playing piles.

The sequences on the playing piles have to be put there descending while the cards should alternate in colors (red and black). You can move whole sequences or parts of it if the first card fits on another pile.

On a free pile you can put a king of any color or a sequence starting with a king.

When you click on the talon, one card from will be moved to the waste pile, from where you can move it to the playing piles or the foundation. Is the talon empty, you can move the complete waste pile on the talon in clicking on the empty talon.

You can look through the cards on the talon without any limit, but you should learn fast that you've lost if you can't find one card to move and that a new shift doesn't help you in finding new solutions.
