As an 82 year old great grandmother I decided to teach my 6 and 7 year olds how to play solitaire with an actual deck of cards. I have been using the electronic version for many many years and for the life of me couldn’t remember how to do it with a deck. Loved your video. Now I’m ready to show this generation how to do it. Thanks!!!!!
I like how simple your tutorials are! A person whit ADHD, I cud not find a tutorial that I understood, but your tutorials are simple and easy to understand!
Thank you for explaining what to do when you get to the end of the deck and you have less than 3 cards. Couldn't find the answer to that anywhere. Good job.🙂
Thank you so much!! How cool!!! Great instruction! My Grandma used to play Solitaire every evening!! I think this will help me manage my loneliness. You have to have a partner to play Gin Rummy, but not with Solitaire. 😊 ❤ Thanks, Jim
Jim, I have a couple other great one player games on this channel. Pyramid Solitaire and Free Cell are also very relaxing when you have some time to yourself. 😀
@@Rulies Thanks so much!! I will take a look. I won my game of Solitaire based on your instructions!! That makes me a “Rock Star!” 😊. One question. When I am doing 1,2,3 looking for the face up card to play, if I only have 1, 2 and have to turn the deck over to get the third card , is this the way to do it? To get to the 3rd card , I can turn the deck over to get the 3rd card? For example, if I have 5 card left, this is 1, 2, 3 as the face up to match, then I have two cards plus the 4 rejected. Do I just turn over the deck that is left and choose the 3rd card from turning it over? Am I making a sense? Thanks for your excellent video!! I won !
I’ve known how to play Solitaire when I was 7-8 years old. I’ve always taken it for granted that everyone knows how to play, but I guess that isn’t necessarily the case, is it? I don’t know why I watched this. Maybe to experience a vicarious sense of curiosity at how to play that card game that used to come preinstalled on everyone’s computer?
I enjoyed your style of teaching. Humor is always good! I actually was looking for how to WIN at Solitaire….I’ve played online for several years and have never one- of course, most of them have the 4 min timer. What do these people know that I don’t?? Any ideas??
Hi, Great tutorial! It settled the arguments between me and my husband on how to play 😂. But I wondered if you might consider making a video on how to play cribbage? Keep up the good work.
That was great. Your instructions, however, had ONE detail that differed from OTHER tutorials. Some tutorials state that the player can move cards from the TOP (the same suit piles) back down to the cards in then seven rows. Is that an OFFICIAL no-no?
I was thinking the same thing. When I played as a child, I never moved the card down from the foundation top row and one video said you could and he said no.
Brigitte Coffman Wellllll.. that’s debatable. This comment deserves a good answer! (more below) ----------- Regarding Moving Cards Out of Foundation Piles --------- When making this video I went to the library! Most books, (such as Hoyle's Rules of Games, published in 1742, but modern books as well) explicitly say that you can’t. I think most people that play with physical decks of cards do not move cards out of the suit pile (aka foundation pile). BUT, in computerized versions, windows 95 solitaire lets you, and now many other online versions let you as well (though some deduct points). So I think many people picked that copied from that. I wonder if the windows version was intended or a programing bug? No way to know. I’m more of a traditionalist, so I prefer that you are not allowed to. But, in a way you are right: you "can" because I always think you should play how you prefer. Its just a game for fun! P.s. Klondike is a hard game. If you are looking for another way to make it easier, draw from the stock pile one at a time instead of three. I’ve seen that as well. Thanks for the comment Brigitte! Good food for thought.
I watched several videos to see if you can move cards from the middle of the column. You said yes. No one has mentioned it in the other videos. The other thing was one video said you can move the card back from the foundation row on top. You said no and that it’s out of place so I’m wondering if there’s different sets of rules for different types of games.
My grandmother taught me how to play 45 yrs ago. She did not move cards from the middle of the column. Nor did she move cards out of the foundation piles once placed there. I'd say pick the rules you like and then stick to them.
Thank you, finally someone you can understand. Also, it's not on a computer that goes too fast. May I ask a question? A friend of mine ( takes cards for the middle of the deck and adds to another deck. ) What I mean , " I have never seen it done the way he does). Is that legal?😊😮😊
Thank you! To answer your question: If you want to bring a card from the middle of a column to another column, you can… but all the cards under it in the column come along with it. Check the example at 03:08 . I hope that helps!
Thanks for the explanation. I’ve watched several other videos and couldn’t get my questions answered, but this one answered almost everything clearly! One question, though. When counting cards at the end for the score- am I counting the actual cards or points where A = 1, J = 11, Q= 12, K = 13?
Good! Teacher. I just had not played in awhile needed a refresh. But, I usually just hold cards in hand Klondike and look one at a time not 3 down. Is that ok?
Hi! 3 down is the most common way to play and (for me) it is the most fun way because you have to be strategic about cycling through the deck. But… But if you like to play 1 down, then I say go for it! Having fun is the most important part. 😄 Some people that turn 1 at a time limit it to three passes through the deck to make it more challenging. Hope that helps!
I've never played cards because i don't understand the value of the cards so i wouldn't know where the card can go or if my set is good enough to beat my opponent. With that being said, this video left me feeling more confused which is why i don't play cards in the first place 🤷
I tried and enjoyed this classic card game for the first time today, and yours was the best and most entertaining tutorial on Solitaire I found on UA-cam (and I watched a couple dozen). Good show! I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. The overhead camera shots were done well, and the dark blue background made the cards stand out nicely. Your instructions were clear, and I liked the spots of humor. The only small things I could add would be: 1) Like "talon", I also think the word "tableau" is a cool term associated with this game, 2) I've heard that some limit the number of times one can go through the stock -- but why would that be better or more fun? and 3) As far as scoring, traditionally are the cards in your foundation piles at the end of the game worth a certain number of points each? Just wondering. Thx again!
.. and to answer your questions: 1. Tableau! Cool! You taught me something, I like it. 2. Limiting passes makes the game harder.. in my opinion the game is hard enough. 3. Well, traditionally, the game isn’t scored. So if you want to be truly old school it’s just win or lose. Scoring came in with the computer era. I do like to use simplified scoring (the amount of cards) as a way to make the game more approachable... since most people will lose more than they win.

Mary, there are some great games in the playlist that you can play with your friends!
I like how simple your tutorials are! A person whit ADHD, I cud not find a tutorial that I understood, but your tutorials are simple and easy to understand!

The animation and noises remind me of Monty Python! Great video
Thank you! Monty Python was a huge inspiration!
Really appreciate the energy! Finally understand this mind boggling game lol🙌🏽🤣
It's been a long time since I played it. I was a pretty young kid at the time. Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure it will bring back some memories.
Thanks very much bro. Ive always had this game on my old pc but never knew how to play it but now i can.
Thank you soo much. I'm trying to learn my mom's favorite game :D
Thanks for clear explanation. I always tried to how to play this online but couldn’t figure it out.
LS Fernando Glad I could help!

Wow you truly are amazing & the best at explaining rules! Bc I’m the worst at getting it the first time 🤦🏽♀️ thank you!!!
Thank you!
Just wanted to make sure we weren’t cheating ourselves 😂
😂 right
trueeee 😂😂
So many people cheat at solitaire that
I almost listed cheating as an optional rule.
I was not cycling through the talon. Thanks for this video.
Probably the most helpful one. Subscribed and rang the bell
looking for a new addiction. This one's perfect
I know this game when I was little, its a great game 👍😊
Your videos are so very well explained and the production is wonderful. Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Nice! This is the most useful tutorial for solitaire users! (mostly for beginners)

I don’t know why I watched this. Maybe to experience a vicarious sense of curiosity at how to play that card game that used to come preinstalled on everyone’s computer?
In that case, check out my tutorial on Free Cell! That’s my only tutorial on a card game that was a computer game before it was a tabletop game!
Simple to understand, clear instructions! Thanks.

yesterday, i won solitaire on my Windows 7 pc and won. i like your giveaway
Best Klondike tutorial
Hi, Great tutorial! It settled the arguments between me and my husband on how to play 😂. But I wondered if you might consider making a video on how to play cribbage? Keep up the good work.
Hi Aimee! Cribbage is a great idea. I added it to my list.. stay tuned.
I have a question… if a card could go both places, in the foundation pile, and the descending column,.. is there a rule for this,.. or just strategy?
That later. It’s a big part of the strategy! There’s even a few cases where you might want to pass on it and let the card stay in the draw pile a bit.
Upload video on how to play clock card game. 👍👍❤️❤️
That was great. Your instructions, however, had ONE detail that differed from OTHER tutorials. Some tutorials state that the player can move cards from the TOP (the same suit piles) back down to the cards in then seven rows. Is that an OFFICIAL no-no?
I’ve wondered the same thing! I do play it that way if it works out I have no other option.
I was thinking the same thing. When I played as a child, I never moved the card down from the foundation top row and one video said you could and he said no.
You can play cards in suit pile, if needed.
Brigitte Coffman Wellllll.. that’s debatable. This comment deserves a good answer! (more below)

I can hardly wait for the solitaire extreme version
Great videos, thank you. Could you please teach Poker, and its variations?

What do you do after completing a column?
Like a King thru 2 with alternating colors.
Do you just leave it there?
I always play this game on phone and it was pretty fun
Well done!!
Can you use covered cards in the Talon?
Nope! Not unless you uncover them. You can sometimes try to set yourself up to get a card you need on the next pass through.
Good! Teacher. I just had not played in awhile needed a refresh. But, I usually just hold cards in hand Klondike and look one at a time not 3 down. Is that ok?
Hi! 3 down is the most common way to play and (for me) it is the most fun way because you have to be strategic about cycling through the deck. But…

@@RuliesWhat are your thoughts when you get down to 6 cards or less in the stock pile?
@@lauraleom7469 I don't play with any special rules for that. How do you play?
Nice explanation 👌
What happens if there is a card that I get from the talon that I cant use?
Can I use jokers while playing solitaire?
So fun
I did
I've never played cards because i don't understand the value of the cards so i wouldn't know where the card can go or if my set is good enough to beat my opponent.
With that being said, this video left me feeling more confused which is why i don't play cards in the first place 🤷
Thanks for info...#
Thanks
You can also do only 5 cards instead of 7
