🕰️ The Atmosphere: Nostalgia Meets High Score Chase

You are seated at the classic virtual felt of Solitaire Klondike, a game synonymous with concentration and quiet strategy. The atmosphere is familiar and comforting, yet charged with the tension of the chase. Every game is a personal competition against your own record, thanks to the meticulous tracking: your time and the number of moves will be recorded, so you can check them later! This adds a thrilling layer to the gameplay: that's why you have to be careful and act quickly!

♠️ The Table Challenge: Descending and Alternating

The primary puzzle lies in manipulating the main tableau, the heart of the game:

• The Descending Chain: You must place the cards in descending order (King down to Ace). For instance, a Jack must be placed upon a Queen.
• The Color Constraint: The complexity is doubled by the essential rule: the colors of the next card should be different from the previous one. A Red 9 must be placed on a Black 10. This forces deep strategic thinking, as you must manage not just rank but color balance across the seven foundation columns.
• The Stockpile Savior: If your tableau hits a dead end, relief lies in the reserves: if you don’t have the right cards on the board, you can shuffle new cards from the stockpile (or draw pile) and create new orders, allowing for fresh opportunities and last-minute saves.

♦️ The Foundation: Ascending Ascent to Victory

The ultimate goal is to build the four Foundations at the top of the screen:

• Suit Specificity: There are four places at the top of the screen, designated for each suit: Clubs, Heart, Diamond, and Spades in each of those places.
• Ascending Order: You must construct these foundations in ascending order, starting with the Ace and building up to the King (e.g., Ace of Spades, then 2 of Spades, then 3 of Spades, etc.). Only once all four Foundations are complete is the game won!
