Seven columns start with three cards each — only the top card is face-up. Build tableau piles down in alternating colors, just like Klondike. When you need new cards, click the stock to deal face-up cards across the columns. Send cards to the four foundations, ascending from Ace to King by suit, to win.
Select a card or sequence, then choose a highlighted destination.

Easthaven Solitaire is a Klondike variant with a structurally different stock mechanic. Where Klondike draws one card at a time from stock to waste, Easthaven deals the entire remaining stock in rows. The first four deals cover all seven columns; the last three cards cover columns one through three. Each deal can change several tableau tops at once.
The 52-card deck is dealt into seven columns of three cards each (21 cards), with only the top card face-up. The remaining 31 cards form the stock.
Tableau columns build downward in alternating colors. Properly ordered alternating-color sequences can move as units. Any card or movable sequence can enter an empty column. Foundations build upward by suit from Ace to King. The stock deals four full seven-card rows and then a final three-card row. Win by moving all 52 cards to the foundations.
In Klondike, a stock draw reveals one new card and lets you choose whether to use it. In Easthaven, a deal row adds cards directly to several columns — there is no selective access. A poor position at deal time may see useful tableau tops covered.
Before a deal, compare available reveals and foundation moves with the information a new row could bring. The final deal affects only the first three columns, so columns four through seven remain available as destinations.
An empty column in Easthaven before a row deal means one column receives its new card as a standalone top — which is often useful, since a single card is more likely to be sequenceable than a card buried under a mixed stack.
An empty column can hold any card, giving more flexibility than Klondike. A stock deal will cover it if the column is among those receiving a card, so decide whether to use it before dealing.
Easthaven is part of Downtown · Klondike family and is a variant of Klondike.
