History and origins
Solitaire, also called patience, names a family of card puzzles rather than a single deal. Garden Patience selects Klondike: build alternating-color tableau columns and move ascending suits to foundations. Tailorgame gives the familiar layout an original garden identity, draw-one and draw-three solo options and UTC daily shuffles. Its private alternating-turn draw-three cooperation is an explicit digital variation, not a claim about traditional solo rules.
The Tailorgame edition
Build tableau runs down in alternating colors. Only Kings fill empty columns. Build foundations from Ace to King by suit. Draw one or three, recycle the waste, use hints and undo, or try the daily deal. Solo progress saves on this device. Private two-player co-op alternates every draw or move on a shared server-controlled draw-three deal. Free practice; no stakes or cash prizes.
Full playing guide
Make room for a little patience
Solitaire: Garden Patience is free Klondike with one standard 52-card deck. Seven columns begin with one to seven cards; only the last card of each column is face up. Move all 52 cards to the four foundations to win. There is no timer, wagering, entry fee or cash prize.
Tableau, stock and foundations
Build face-up tableau runs downward in alternating red and black colors. Move a whole ordered run together. Only Kings, or runs beginning with Kings, may enter empty columns. Uncovering the last hidden card flips it automatically. Each foundation begins with an Ace and grows to King in the same suit; its top card may return to the tableau.
Draw three matches the linked introductory guide; draw one is an easier option for solo play. Only the top waste card is playable. When the stock empties, recycle the waste in order with unlimited passes. Not every random deal can be solved. Hints use exposed cards only and do not promise a winning route.
Solo practice and two-player cooperation
Solo offers new shuffles, a daily shuffle based on the UTC date, free undo, and validated device saves. Changing the draw setting applies to the next deal. Finish next card moves one card to a foundation when every tableau card is face up and stock and waste are empty. A win earns 1,000 points plus up to 500 for fewer moves; browser-reported practice points are not verified competition.
Create a private room and share its invitation. Both signed-in players join before the host starts a server-controlled draw-three deal. Alternate every legal move or draw; both players see the same revealed board. Either member may end the shared deal, and the host may start a new one or close a finished room. Online results remain in the room. Leaving the view does not delete the room; use the same invitation to resume.
Controls and the reference
Tap or click a face-up card and then its destination. Tab and Enter/Space activate controls; arrow keys navigate board controls, and Escape clears selection. The physical board remains left-to-right in every language. Garden Patience follows the reference’s basic Klondike rules, with original artwork and its own untimed practice scoring and cooperative mode. It is independent of Papaya and Solitaire Cash.
