How to Play Sextuple Klondike Solitaire

A massive version of Klondike using six decks with 312 cards. Build all 24 foundation piles while managing 23 tableau columns—ideal for large displays and extended play.

Setup

1. Six standard decks are shuffled together, producing 312 cards spread across a wide 23-column layout.
2. Deal cards to the tableau in the classic pyramid pattern: 1 card to pile 1, 2 to pile 2, and so on through 23 piles. Only the top card of each tableau pile faces up.
3. Stack the remaining cards as the stock pile. The waste pile begins empty.
4. Foundation piles appear above the tableau with spaces for 24 piles total (one for each Ace as it becomes available).

How to play

• Click the stock pile to draw 3 cards to the waste pile. Only the top card of the waste is playable.
• Move cards from the waste pile or tableau to the foundations, building up in suit from Ace to King. Cards automatically move to the foundations once they no longer have a playable card to build on them (you can change this in Settings).
• Build tableau piles downward in opposite colors: a red 6 on a black 7, for example.
• Move groups of cards together if the run is valid (each card one rank lower, opposite color).
• Empty tableau piles accept only Kings or King-high runs.
• When the stock runs out, click the empty stock to turn the waste back over and continue drawing. Redeals are unlimited.

How to win

Objective: Move all 312 cards to the 24 foundation piles, building each suit from Ace to King.

Win by moving all 312 cards to the foundations. With unlimited redeals you can keep cycling the stock, but you're stuck once no legal moves remain anywhere on the board.

Tips

• Focus on exposing buried cards by clearing tableau piles strategically.
• Avoid building low cards to the foundations too early if they block access to higher cards on the tableau.
• Use empty tableau spaces to temporarily hold cards that would otherwise get trapped.
