Play Quintuple Klondike Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

Five decks, 260 cards, twenty tableau columns, and twenty foundations running Ace to King: Klondike's biggest board yet, best tackled in full-screen.

Quintuple Klondike Solitaire is Klondike scaled up to a genuinely enormous board: five full decks, two hundred and sixty cards, twenty tableau columns, and twenty foundations. It is one of the largest games in the Klondike family, so a wide screen helps — press F11 for full-screen to make the sprawling layout easier to read.

The deal follows the familiar Klondike staircase, only much longer. The first column gets one card, the second two, and so on out to the twentieth column's twenty cards, with only the top of each pile face-up. That leaves fifty cards in the stock, which turns over three at a time with unlimited redeals, so patience and repeated passes will eventually surface the cards you need.

With five copies of every card in play, the foundations are a marathon — all twenty must run from Ace to King before you win. The scale is generous, though: long alternating-color runs relocate whole, and so many open columns keep a steady stream of moves flowing. As always in Klondike, empty columns are precious, since only a King or a King-led run may fill one, so save them for the Kings that unlock your deepest face-down piles.

It's the biggest sibling in a line that runs from Double Klondike Solitaire up through Quadruple Klondike Solitaire, each one just a larger deal on the same idea.

How to play Quintuple Klondike Solitaire

Layout:

20 foundation piles: Build up in suit from Ace to King.

20 tableau piles: Alternate color build down, moving ordered runs together. Only a King, or a valid sequence led by a King, may fill an empty column. At the start one card is dealt to the first pile, two to the second, and so on to twenty in the last; the top card of each pile is face-up and the rest face-down.

Stock: Click to deal three cards at a time to the waste. Redeals are unlimited.

Waste: The top card is always available to play on the foundations or tableau.

Foundation:

There are twenty foundation piles.

Any ace may be moved to an empty foundation pile.

A card can be added to a foundation pile only if it's one rank higher and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a 5 of clubs is a 6 of clubs. There can be no more than 13 cards in a pile.

The top card of each foundation can be moved back into play if another pile will accept it.

Tableau:

Twenty tableau piles, the first with one card, the second with two, and so on. The top card of each pile is dealt face-up and the rest face-down.

A card can be added to a tableau pile only if it's one rank lower and the opposite color of the pile's current top card, so the only cards that fit on a 4 of spades are the 3 of hearts and 3 of diamonds.

Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card are free to be played onto the foundation or any other tableau pile. Only Kings may fill empty spots, and if cards are in alternating red and black order, a sequence can be shifted together from one column to another.

Stock and waste:

There is one waste pile and the remaining cards make up the stock.

When you click the stock, three cards are dealt to the waste, with unlimited passes through the deck; if too few cards remain at the end of a pass, only those are dealt. The waste becomes the new stock before the next pass, and its top card can always be played to the tableau or foundation.
