How To Play Double Klondike Solitaire Instantly

Double Klondike is basically a two-deck game of classic Klondike Solitaire played with 104 cards. It expands the classic seven-pile tableau into nine piles, offering a larger playfield and greater depth of strategy. Also known as Gargantua, here's how to master it:

Objective

Build eight foundation piles in ascending order by suit, starting with Aces and ending with Kings, by turning and revealing one card at a time from the stock.

Setup

  • Decks: Two standard 52-card decks (104 cards total)
  • Tableau: Nine columns with a mix of face-down and face-up cards
  • Foundations: Eight piles for suit-based building
  • Stock: Draw pile for turning over one card at a time

Gameplay Rules

  • Move cards in descending order with alternating colors on the tableau.
  • Only Kings (or sequences starting with Kings) can be placed in empty tableau columns.
  • In this turn 1 version, you turn one card at a time from the stock to the waste pile.
  • Cards drawn from the stock pile may be played onto the tableau or foundation.
  • Each foundation must be built up by suit: Ace, 2, 3, and so on, until the King.
  • Use strategy to reveal hidden cards and manage tableau space efficiently.

Strategy Tips

  • Focus on freeing hidden cards early in the game.
  • Try to build all foundations evenly to avoid getting stuck.
  • Don’t rush stock draws - each card can change your options.
  • Undo and restart functions can help test different approaches.
