History

Logicom began creating casino and card/chance

games

from

the

very

beginning

with

their

successful

The

Casino

and

Yahtzee

packages.

Later,

they

created

a

series

of

"Progessive"

games

that

featured

progressive

jackpots.

Klondike

Solitaire

was

one

of

the

games

in

this

series.

Progressive

Klondike

Solitaire

was

sold,

along

with

most

Logicom

products,

to

Soft

Arts

in

1997.

Game Information

The game of Klondike Solitaire is a simple, one-player

card

game

where

the

object

is

to

end

up

with

four

stacks

of

cards,

one

per

suit,

in

order

with

aces

first,

at

the

bottom,

and

kings,

at

the

top.

The

cards

are

dealt

out

in

seven

stacks,

with

each

stack

having

one

mor

ecard

face

down

underneath

than

the

previous.

The

remaining

cards

are

left

in

the

deck,

and

are

gone

through

in

threes.

Cards

of

black

suit

may

only

be

placed

on

cards

of

red

suit,

and

cards

of

red

only

on

black.

Cards

and

stacks

must

be

placed

on

one

another

in

descending

order

only.

When

a

stack

is

moved

off

of

a

card,

which

is

face

down,

that

card

is

turned

up

and

may

be

played.

The

asterisk

which

occasionally

appears

on

or

near

the

deck

denotes

that

the

deck's

top

three

the

ones

currently

shown.
