Solitaire Unblocked

Ever wanted to play a quick game of cards during your downtime? Solitaire remains one of the most popular single-player card games, perfect for short breaks or longer gaming sessions. Let’s explore how to master this timeless classic.

Getting Started: The Basic Setup

Before diving into gameplay, you’ll need to understand the four key areas on your playing field:

• The Stock: Your main deck (face-down cards in the upper left)
• The Waste: Where cards from the Stock get played (upper left, next to Stock)
• The Foundations: Four spots for building suited sequences (upper right)
• The Tableau: Seven columns where most gameplay happens

Setting Up Your Game

The game starts with seven Tableau piles arranged in a distinctive pattern:

• Column 1: 1 card
• Column 2: 2 cards
• Column 3: 3 cards
• Column 4: 4 cards
• Column 5: 5 cards
• Column 6: 6 cards
• Column 7: 7 cards

The top card of each column faces up, while others remain face down. Remaining cards form the Stock pile.
