Rules   
Solitaire Games includes three different variations of Klondike.   

Standard Rules
Build columns in descending order in alternating colors. Blocks of cards in descending order and alternating colors are moved as a group. If a column is empty, you may start a new column with a King. Foundations are started with Aces, and built in suit to Kings. Klondike also has a deck of cards. Tap on the deck to deal three cards at a time to single discard pile. You may play the top card of the discard pile as normal. Once the entire deck has been dealt, the discard pile it turned over and becomes the deck. You can go through the deck unlimited times.   

Alternate Rules   
The alternate rules make the game easier by dealing one card at a time instead of three. Tap the silk screen Menu button and choose Settings to set Klondike to deal one or three cards at once.   

Vegas Rules   
The Vegas Rules are the strictest rules for Klondike. You play dealing three cards at a time, but you can only deal through the deck three times. The scoring is different as well, as described below.   

Standard and Alternate Rules Scoring   
You receive 25 points for every card that you place on a foundation, and 15 points for every card that is moved from the discard pile to a column.   

Vegas Scoring   
You begin the game with -$52. Every card that you place on a foundation gives you $4. Solving Klondike will net you $156.
