How to set up a solitaire game

Solitaire is a popular card game that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for centuries. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to improve your skills or a beginner looking to learn the game, setting up a solitaire game is easy and only requires a standard deck of playing cards.

To start, shuffle the deck of cards to ensure that they are randomized. Then, deal out 28 cards into a grid of 7 columns and 4 rows. This grid is known as the tableau, and it is where the majority of the game play will take place. The remaining cards should be placed face down on the table to create the stock pile.

Next, flip the top card from the stock pile and place it face up in the first column of the tableau. This card will form the starting point of the foundation, which is the goal of the game. The foundation is built up by suit from Ace to King, with each card being placed on top of the previous one in ascending order.

To play the game, you will use the cards in the tableau to build on the foundation. You can move cards from the tableau to the foundation by matching the suit and rank of the card. For example, if the foundation starts with the Ace of Hearts, you can place the Two of Hearts on top of it.

Cards in the tableau can also be moved around to create empty spaces. This can be useful for uncovering hidden cards or creating new opportunities to build on the foundation. To move a card, simply click and drag it to the desired location.

If you run out of moves in the tableau, you can draw new cards from the stock pile by clicking on it. This will flip over the top card and place it face up in the first empty space in the tableau. If there are no more cards in the stock pile, the game is over and you will need to start a new game.

Solitaire is a simple yet addictive game that can provide hours of entertainment. With a little practice, you can quickly learn how to setup and play the game, and before you know it, you'll be hooked on this classic card game.
