Play Solitaire in Windows 7

To play Solitaire in Windows 7, follow these guidelines:

1. Choose Start >> Games. If this is the first time you’re playing games, Windows 7 displays a Set Up Game Updates and Options dialog box. If it does, make choices (such as whether to automatically check for game updates) and click OK. In the resulting Games window double-click Solitaire.

2. In the resulting Solitaire window, click a card and then click a card in another deck that you want to move it on top of. The first card you click moves.

3. When playing the game, you have these options:

• If no moves are available, click the stack of cards in the upper-left corner to deal another round of cards.

• If you move the last card from one of the six laid-out stacks, leaving only face-down cards, click the facedown cards to flip up one. You can also move a King onto any empty stack.

• When you reach the end of the stack of cards in the upper-left corner, click them again to re-deal the cards that you didn’t use the first time.

• You can play a card in one of two places: either building a stack from King to Ace on the bottom row, alternating suits; or starting from Ace in any of the top four slots, placing cards from Ace to King in a single suit.

• When you complete a set of cards (Ace to King), click the top card and then click one of the four blank deck spots at the top-right of the window. If you complete all four sets, you win.

4. To close Solitaire, click the Close button.
