About Solitaire

Solitaire on Ponder Club is a daily version of Klondike, the classic card patience game. The point of difference is that every player gets the same deal each day, which makes completion times comparable.

You play Klondike as normal: build the tableau down in alternating colours, move cards and sequences between columns, turn cards from the stock, and build each of the four foundations up by suit from ace to king. The game is won when all cards reach the foundations.

The daily deals are designed to be solvable, and a full dated archive lets you play earlier days. There is also a Zen mode that deals random hands from the archive with no clock. Ponder Club says all of its games are free with no paywalls or subscriptions, and there are no sign-ups or pop-ups.

It suits players who enjoy classic solitaire and like the idea of everyone racing the same deal each day.

How to play Solitaire

1. Open the day's deal, the same cards as everyone else.
2. Build the tableau columns down in alternating colours.
3. Move cards and ordered runs between columns to uncover hidden cards.
4. Turn cards from the stock when you need more options.
5. Build the four foundations up by suit from ace to king to win.

Tips

• Free your face-down cards early, since they open up the most moves.
• Do not rush every card to the foundations; you may need it back in the tableau.
• Because the deal is the same for everyone, plan your opening moves before racing the clock.
