n. A form of solitaire in which 28 cards are laid out in seven piles and the player moves through the remainder of the deck one or three cards at a time. The objective is to remove the aces and build sequential stacks sorted by suit ascending up to king. [From KLONDIKE1 (perhaps because the game became popular around the time of the Klondike gold rush).] |
