How to play Klondike (1 Card) Solitaire?

Goal of Klondike (1 Card) Solitaire

The goal of Klondike (1 Card) Solitaire is to place the deck Ace through King by suit in the four piles of the foundation. The game is won when all the cards that are initially in the deck and tableau are in the foundation.

Klondike (1 Card) Gameplay

There are two main rules to Klondike Solitaire: opposite color, one greater and same suit, one less. These rules mean that the cards in the tableau get placed on a card that is one greater and the opposite color, and the cards in the foundation get placed on a card that is one less and the same suit. A Jack of Hearts can be placed on a Queen of Spades, but not a seven of Diamonds, in the tableau. In the foundation, a 3 of Hearts can be placed on the 2 of Hearts, and no other card.

Along with opposite color, one greater there are some other rules for the tableau. A King can be placed on any empty column. Cards that are already placed on a card move with that card, if it is being placed on another card.
