Klondike is the solitaire everyone pictures: seven columns of cards, four foundations to build, and a stock you turn over one card at a time.
Goal
Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations, each built up in suit from ace to king.
How to play
Build the tableau down in alternating colours, and a face-up card moves together with everything stacked on it. Empty columns take a king. Turn the stock into the waste and play the top card when it fits; when the stock runs out, the waste turns back over.
Tip
Uncovering face-down cards early is worth more than tidy columns.
