KLONDIKE SOLITAIRE

In Klondike Solitaire, cards are dealt to the
deck 3-at-a-time and the player can pass
through the deck indefinitely. Twenty (20)
points are deducted for each pass through
the deck after the player has gone through
the deck three (3) times. The object of
Klondike Solitaire is to use all the cards in the
deck to build four suit stacks in order from
Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen
and King.

Card Stacks

You will be dealt twenty-eight cards in seven
row stacks. You will build each row stack
card face up, in alternating colors, in the
order of King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,
4, 3 and 2. As the game progresses, you will
move these cards to the suit stacks.

Deck

When you cannot move any cards in the row
stack, you can draw a new card from the
deck.

• To draw a card from the deck, press the
DECK button until the card flashes. Press
the CARD STACK button corresponding to
the location you want to move the card or
the SUITS button . The number of passes
through the deck is unlimited.

Suit Stacks

At the beginning of the game, they are empty.
When you draw an Ace, press the CARD
STACK button corresponding with the loca­tion of the Ace until the card is flashing.
Then, press the SUITS button to move it to
its proper suit stack.

Timer/Bonus

The number of bonus points you will receive
depends upon how quickly you win the game.
[Note: Timer can only be turned on/off at the
start of a game, prior to your first card move]

Undo

You’ll lose 2 points from your score each time
you undo your last move. You will also lose
any points awarded for the original move.

• Row stacks must be built in descending
order of King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3 and 2.

• Suit stacks must be built in ascending
order of Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

SUITS

• You must play cards in alternating colors
in row stacks. For example, you can play
a red card (Outlined) on a black card
(Solid), or a black card (Solid) on a red
card (Outlined).

• A card at the top of a card stack can be
moved to its corresponding suit stack, as
long as the card you are moving is the next
the card in the sequence. For example,
you can move a 3 of hearts from a card
stack or the deck and place it on top of a
2 of hearts in a suit stack.

• A sequence of cards can be moved, as a
unit, and placed on top of another card.
For example, a red 6, black 5 and red 4
can be highlighted and placed on top of a
black 7.

• When you turn over an Ace, move it to the
suits stack.

• Only a King can be moved to an empty
space in the card stacks.

VEGAS SOLITAIRE

V

egas Solitaire follows the same rules as
Klondike Solitaire, but in this game you will
begin with 500 points. Points are accumulat­ed between consecutive games.

• Each time you start a new game, you will

lose 52 points (one point for each card in
the deck).

• You will win 5 points each time you move a

card from a card stack or the deck to a
suit stack.

• You will lose 5 points each time you move

a card from the suit stack back down to a
card stack.

• You may only pass through the deck once.

• Deck cards are turned over one (1) at a

time

Timer/Bonus

The number of bonus points you will receive
depends upon how quickly you win the
game. [Note: Timer can only be turned on/off
at the start of a game, prior to your first card
