Best Foundation-Building Games

Our picks among foundation-building games.

  1. Klondike

    The best-known solitaire game: build tableau columns down in alternating colors and move cards up to four suit foundations.

    • One deck
    • 10 min
    • Beginner

  2. Klondike (Draw Three)

    The stricter Klondike variant: the stock deals three cards at a time, and only the top card is playable.

    • One deck
    • 12 min
    • Intermediate

  3. Spider (One Suit)

    The easiest Spider variant, played with a single suit repeated across both decks.

    • 2 decks
    • 12 min
    • Easy

  4. Canfield

    Foundations start on a random rank instead of Aces, and a 13-card reserve pile adds real strategic pressure.

    • One deck
    • 15 min
    • Hard

  5. FreeCell

    Nearly every deal is winnable with the right plan — four free cells give just enough room to maneuver every card into place.

    • One deck
    • 15 min
    • Intermediate

  6. Scorpion

    Move any card onto any other regardless of sequence, then untangle same-suit runs across seven columns.

    • One deck
    • 15 min
    • Hard

  7. Yukon

    No stock at all, and any face-up card moves together with everything piled on top of it, however disordered.

    • One deck
    • 15 min
    • Intermediate

  8. Spider (Two Suit)

    A more forgiving Spider variant played with only two suits instead of all four.

    • 2 decks
    • 16 min
    • Intermediate

  9. Spider

    Build same-suit sequences from King to Ace across ten tableau columns using two full decks and four suits.

    • 2 decks
    • 20 min
    • Intermediate

  10. Forty Thieves

    Build strict same-suit sequences across ten columns dealt from two decks — one of the toughest classic patience games.

    • 2 decks
    • 25 min
    • Hard
