02 History & variants
The patience game that reached every screen.
Klondike among the patiences
Single-player patience games were printed in European collections during the nineteenth century. Klondike appeared later and became the best-known member of that much larger family. Its name is often linked to the Klondike Gold Rush, although the precise origin of the name is not securely documented. Computer editions made its seven-column layout familiar worldwide.
One card or three
Draw-one Klondike exposes every stock card and is generally more forgiving. Draw-three changes which waste cards can be reached and is often paired with limited passes through the stock. Vegas scoring adds a gambling-style target, while other software editions allow unlimited redeals or moving any ordered sequence rather than only a King into an empty column.
