Objective
To build the 8 Foundations up in Ascending
Family Sequence from Ace to King.
Layout

- This game is played with two packs of
52, well shuffled, playing cards.
- The Tableau (T) consists of 45 cards dealt in 9 columns of
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 cards (from left to right
respectively). All cards are dealt face-down except for
the last card of each column which is turned face up.
- The Stock (S) starts with the 59 remaining cards, all
face-down.
- The Waste (W) starts empty, ready to receive cards dealt from the Stock.
- The Foundations (F) start empty, waiting for building.
Rules
- The Tableau is built in Descending
Alternate Color Sequence.
The exposed card
of each Tableau column
can be moved to another Tableau column or to the Foundations if it fits the target pile building rules.
Also, a complet pack of exposed cards, forming a valid suit, can be moved to
another Tableau column
if the head card fits
the target pile building rules. When a blocked card is released, it is immediately turned face-up. When a Tableau column is cleared
out the space may only be
filled by a King or a valid suit headed by a King.
- The Foundations are built in Ascending
Family Sequence. The exposed card of any Foundation can be moved to the Tableau if it fits the target pile building rules.
- The Stock accepts no building. When activated, the Stock deals 3 cards, face-up, to the Waste, or, when empty, the cards still in the Waste are redealt to the Stock, ready for a new pass. Cards, as they come
and go from the Stock to the Waste (and vice versa), always retain their
initial order. Unlimited redeals.
- The Waste accepts no building. Only cards dealt from the Stock can fill the Waste. The exposed card of the Waste is available for play to the Tableau or to the Foundations as long as it fits the target pile building
rules.
Notes
Double Klondike is a two packs straight
variation of Klondike. It is much easier to win, although luck is still
the main parameter.
