About this game
Gate Solitaire is a classic one-deck solitaire. The goal is to move all 52 cards onto the four foundation piles at the top, each of which starts with an Ace and builds up to the King of that suit. The tableau is where the work happens: cards are stacked downward in alternating colors, so you shift piles around to free whatever is sitting underneath. When no legal move is left, draw more cards from the pile and keep going until every card reaches a foundation.
How to Play
