About Goldfield Solitaire
Seven claims, one deck, and a table the colour of a mountain creek at dusk. Every deal on the table can be finished, so when the cards stop moving the next line is somewhere in the columns, not in luck.
Klondike solitaire with Draw 1 or Draw 3, unlimited undo, hints and a daily deal that is the same for everyone. Every deal can be won.
How to play Goldfield Solitaire
Build the four foundations up by suit from Ace to King. On the seven columns, stack cards down in alternating colours; only a King can fill an empty column. Tap a card to send it to the best legal place, drag a card or a run to put it exactly where you want, and tap a card twice quickly to send it to a foundation. Tap the stock to turn cards; when it runs out, tap again to turn the waste back over. The Draw 1 / Draw 3 toggle works at any time: before your first move it redeals at once under the new rule, after that the change applies from the next deal. Undo has no limit and Hint points out a good next move. When every card is face up the game finishes itself. If no sequence of moves can win from the current position, the game says so and offers Undo or End game. Give up, tapped twice to confirm, ends the deal and resets your win streak. Points: 10 for a card on a foundation, 5 for a card from the waste to a column, 5 for turning a card face up, minus 15 for taking a card back off a foundation, minus 100 (Draw 1) or 20 (Draw 3) for turning the waste over, and 2 off every 10 seconds. A win adds a time bonus that is larger the faster you finish.

Features
Draw 1 or Draw 3
Switch the stock rule at any time; before your first move it redeals at once, after that it applies from the next deal.
Every deal can be won
No dead deals: if a position has no winning line left, the game says so and offers Undo or End game instead of leaving you guessing.
Unlimited undo and hints
Take back as many moves as you want, and Hint points out a good next move when you are stuck.
Scoring and win streak
Points for foundation plays and flips, penalties for reversing a foundation card or cycling the waste, and a time bonus for a fast win.
Hard mode and daily deal
Hard mode unlocks after your first win and removes Undo and Hint while forcing Draw 3. The daily deal is the same for everyone.
Tips
- Turn over face-down cards first: a move that uncovers a hidden card is almost always worth more than one that only tidies a column.
- Do not empty a column unless you have a King ready to move into it; an empty column that cannot be filled is a wasted space.
- Hold back on sending low red or black cards to the foundations while cards of the other colour one rank lower still need a place to land.
- Work the column with the most face-down cards early; the biggest columns hide the cards you will be stuck waiting for.
- In Draw 3, count through the stock before committing: playing one waste card changes which cards come up on every later pass.
Frequently asked questions
Can every deal in Goldfield Solitaire be won?
Yes. If a position has no winning line left, the game tells you directly and offers Undo or End game instead of letting you play out a dead hand.
Is Goldfield Solitaire hard, and what does hard mode change?
Hard mode unlocks after your first win. It forces Draw 3 and removes both Undo and Hint, so every move has to be right the first time.
What's the difference between Draw 1 and Draw 3?
Draw 1 turns one card from the stock at a time and is easier to solve; Draw 3 turns three, and you can only play the top card, which cuts off some of the deck. Switch anytime from the settings; it redeals now before your first move, or from the next deal after that.
Does Goldfield Solitaire save my progress?
Your stats, win streak and settings stay on this device. Use Sync devices to move them to a new phone or browser with a one-time code; there is no account.
Can I play Goldfield Solitaire on my phone?
Yes. Tap a card to send it to the best legal place, or drag a card or a run exactly where you want it.
Is there a daily deal in Goldfield Solitaire?
Yes, the same deal for everyone that day, so your time and score are a fair comparison.
