Classic Solitaire is a traditional card game based on arranging cards across seven tableau columns and four foundation piles. Players build tableau sequences by alternating red and black cards in descending order while moving cards to the foundations from Ace through King. Cards are revealed as the tableau is rearranged and new cards are drawn from the deck. Empty tableau spaces can be used for Kings and their sequences. Start a game and build all four foundation piles.
