Klondike family
Ten columns start with three cards each — only the top card of each column is face-up. Build tableau piles down in alternating colors. Deal one card at a time from the stock to the waste pile; the top waste card is always available to play. Send all cards to the four foundations, ascending from Ace to King by suit, to win.
Click a face-up card to select it, then click a destination — or click the stock to deal one card.

Westcliff expands the tableau to ten columns and removes the King-only restriction on empty spaces, making it friendlier than Klondike for managing the board. The single-card waste mechanism keeps each stock deal low-risk but also low-reward compared to a three-card draw.
The wider tableau gives you more room to manoeuvre sequences, but with 22 cards in the stock you must pace your deals carefully. Prioritise uncovering face-down cards early and use empty columns as temporary holding spots before committing to a long sequence.
Westcliff is highly winnable — roughly 9 out of 10 deals are completable with good play. Focus on keeping the waste pile clear by immediately playing useful waste cards onto the tableau or foundations before dealing again.
