KKLONDIKE(6)

🃏 kklondike — from the Games Manual, bestie 💖

okay so you found a card game in your terminal-adjacent life and honestly? iconic. this is the manual page for kklondike, an X window klondike solitaire situation, and i am going to walk you through it like we're passing notes in class. sit down, grab a snack 🍓, we're doing this.

✨ NAME ✨

kklondike — X window klondike solitaire. that's it, that's the whole identity. main character energy from the jump 👑

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

kklondike

yeah. that's the whole thing. no flags, no arguments, no drama. you just run it. periodt 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Kklondike brings up a window for a klondike solitaire game. literally that's the vibe. 🌸

here's how the clicking works, and this is important so listen up:

• Clicking on a card moves it to the "best" legal play. the game is out here making decisions for you and honestly? sometimes you just gotta let it cook.
• Dragging a card places it — if legal — in the target stack. if it's not legal, it's not happening, no cap. the game will simply not allow it 🙈

💜 RULES 💜

okay bestie this is the part where we learn how to actually play. no skipping, i know it's tempting.

• Tableaus build down in alternating colors. that's the whole aesthetic. red, black, red, black, you get it. ✨
• Full or partial builds may be moved among the tableaus. so you're not stuck moving one card at a time, slay.
• Empty tableaus may be filled with Kings, or with builds that begin with Kings. Kings are the only ones allowed to start fresh, they're the founders fr fr 👑
• The top card in the discard pile</b> may be played on tableaus or foundations. just the top one though, don't get greedy 💀
• Foundations build up in suit, starting from the Ace. so A, 2, 3, all the way up. it's giving orderly. it's giving organized. we love her. 🎀

🎀 Dealing & the Hand 🎀

• Deal three cards onto the discard pile by clicking the hand. (yes, the original says "clickingn" — we are not going to talk about it, but it's a typo and it lives there forever, iconic honestly 💀)
• Click on the empty hand to move the discards back. recycling! sustainability! we love to see it 🌈

⭐ Goal ⭐

Goal: move all cards to the foundations. that's it. that's the whole quest. no side quests, no detours, just cards on foundations. go off, bestie 🫶
