About

Full Klondike solitaire designed for a joystick or the 2/4/6/8 keys. A single cursor walks the stock, waste, foundations and seven columns; pressing 2 inside a column grows the selection to pick up a whole run. Press # to fling a card to its foundation, and once every card is face-up the game finishes itself automatically. Long columns compress to fit even a 128-pixel screen.

Objective: Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations.

Modes: Draw 1, Draw 3
