Nine Deals

Real Klondike,
nine rounds deep

The deal is fixed before the round starts.

Solitaire as you know it, played as a run of nine rounds that change the rules rather than the deck. Every deal is committed to before you see it. No ads, no purchases, no account.

How it plays

Klondike, not a card game with cards in it

The direct competitor in this genre has a third of its reviews complaining that it has nothing to do with solitaire. This one is Klondike: alternating colours down the columns, ace to king on the foundations, stock and waste. What a run changes is the rules around that, never the deck.

A Klondike table: stock and waste at the left, four foundations at the right, seven columns below with the face-up cards stepped so their ranks stay readable.

The run

Nine rounds, three ways to play them

Each round has a target and a budget of moves. Between rounds you pick an improvement. Three classes play differently enough to need different plans — one builds long rows, one collects, one digs.

Fair play

Fixed before the round starts

Each deal is committed to with a hash before you see a card, and the seed is revealed afterwards so anyone can recompute it. A round you lost was not a round the game decided you should lose.
