The goal of the game is to build up the foundations by suit, starting with the aces and working towards kings.
The tableau (initial deal) consists of seven columns of cards, with one card in the first column, two in the second, and so on. The topmost card in each column is face-up. Cards may be moved to build columns of cards in descending rank and opposite suit color. A stack of multiple cards may be moved as well as single cards. When a face-down card is exposed, turn it face-up. Only kings or stacks starting with a king may be moved to empty columns.
The remaining cards are placed face down and may be turned over one or three cards at a time into the discard pile. The topmost card in the discard pile may be played on the tableau or the foundation. When you run out of cards in the deck, flip the discard pile over and continue.
The game is over when you've either moved all the cards to the foundations (winning the game), or you have no moves and have lost.

Tapping:
If a card is face down, tapping on it will turn it face up. Tapping on the face-down deck will turn over one or three cards, depending on the mode of play which is selected. If the deck is empty, tapping on the 'O' will turn over the discard pile. In "Vegas rules" mode, you are only allowed to go through the deck 1 or 3 times. If an "X" appears, then you may not go through the deck another time.
You can also turn cards over from the deck by pressing the jog dial in, or pressing the Tungsten T 5-Way control left or right.

Moving cards
The main play of the game involves moving cards from one pile to another. There are two ways you can do this:
Tap and hold the stylus on the cards you want to move. Drag the cards to their destination.
Tap and release the stylus on the cards you want to move. This will select the cards. Then tap the stylus on the destination position for the cards, and they will move.

Move to aces automatically
Enabling this option causes Klondike to move any available cards to the aces after each move you make. A card will only be moved up if it is no longer needed in play.
If you tap on a selected card it will move to any available legal spot. Enabling single tap mode lets you move a card by tapping once, instead of selecting it and then tapping again to move it.
When you remove a card from a column and reveal a face-down card, this option automatically flips it face up.
Card throwing allows you to "throw" the cards. Instead of dragging a card all the way to its destination, you can move it part way then let go and the card will continue the rest of the way. Nifty!
Strict rules forbid moving cards from the aces back down to the columns. Enable this feature if you would like to relax this rule.
Pops up a confirmation dialog before you abandon the current game to start a new one.
Automatically detects when you have won and moves the rest of the cards to the aces for you. It will also detect when there are no moves left and prompt you to start a new game.
