We have not written a verdict for this pairing. The comparison above is drawn from each game's own recorded facts — follow either link for its full rules and strategy.
Double Klondike
Klondike scaled up to two decks and nine tableau columns for a longer, more complex game.
Two decks dealt into nine columns in a triangle, top card of each face up. Eight foundations — two per suit — build up from Ace.
Easthaven
A Westcliff variant that deals a fresh row across every column when you stall, and admits only Kings to a space.
The base layout is Westcliff's — three rows of seven, the last face up — and the building is the same, down in alternating colours with foundations climbing each suit from Ace. Two rules differ, and both tighten the game.
