Klondike Solitaire Turn 2 (Draw 2)
Solitaire Turn 2 deals the stock in pairs. Two cards arrive beside the stock, but only the top one is ready to move. Playing it can give you a second move with the card underneath.
Play Draw 2 Solitaire free above, with unlimited stock passes, Hint and Undo. Collect all 52 cards on the four foundations, completing each suit from Ace through King.
How to play Solitaire Draw 2
There are seven columns of cards, a face-down stock, and a face-up waste beside it. The four foundation spaces are where you collect the suits.
- Check the columns. Place a card on one that is a rank higher and the opposite color. A red 7 belongs on a black 8. You can move a face-up run together when its cards descend in alternating colors.
- Turn over a pair. Tap the stock when you need more options. The two cards land on the waste. If only one card remains in the stock, it comes out alone.
- Use the card on top. Move it to a suitable column or foundation. Then look at the card you have uncovered before drawing another pair.
- Build the foundations by suit. An Ace starts a foundation, followed by its 2, 3 and so on. Finish all four suits to win.
Moving the last face-up card away from a hidden column card turns that hidden card over. An empty column accepts a King, either alone or with a correctly ordered run beneath it.
How are the cards dealt?
One 52-card deck is used, without Jokers. The columns hold 1 through 7 cards, with one face-up card at the end of each column. That leaves 24 stock cards: twelve pairs on the first pass if you keep drawing without playing any.
Why the next pass can expose different cards
Pay attention to both cards in a pair. The partly covered one may be exactly what you need, even when the card on top has nowhere to go.
Here, passing through an untouched stock again exposes the other member of each pair. Suppose a red 7 covers a black 6. You can play the 7 now if it has a destination. If you leave both in the waste, the next pass will offer the 6 on top instead.
7 on top
6 on top
Once you play cards out of the waste, the cards left behind can form new pairs. Watch what is actually exposed instead of expecting the same partners every time.
This behavior gives you a reason to look through another pass. It does not mean endless passes will solve the deal. If the same positions keep returning and no useful move appears, use Undo to revisit a decision or start a different game.
Recycling the stock
When the stock is empty, tap its outline. The waste goes back to the stock, and the first pair of the new pass appears immediately. Cards already moved to a column or foundation stay there.
Stock passes are unlimited, with no recycling score penalty. Recycling does not shuffle the deck. It reuses the cards left in the waste, which is why removing a card can change what you see later.
Undo takes back that whole recycle-and-draw action at once. You do not need to undo the two cards individually.
Look for a second move behind the first
- Read the covered card. Before moving the top waste card, see whether the card behind it could follow. One useful destination may unlock two moves.
- Keep a landing place when it helps. A card ready for a foundation may still be useful in a column. Check whether an exposed or covered waste card needs to land on it first.
- Recheck after a column changes. A newly uncovered card can make a previously blocked pair useful. Remember the pair and look for it on the next pass.
Need a slower introduction to the columns and foundations? The Solitaire rules guide explains those moves. Draw 1 offers one stock card per tap; Draw 3 offers groups of three.
Help, Undo and your saved game
Drag a playable card to its destination, or select the card and then the destination. The partly hidden waste card cannot be selected while another card covers it.
Hint suggests an available action. Undo lets you reconsider a move or take back a pair you just drew. Restart deals the same layout again; New Game begins another one.
Draw 2 uses Random deals. It has no Verified deal pool and makes no promise that every starting position can be won. A suggested move is not a complete solution.
Where is my Draw 2 progress saved?
Your browser keeps a separate Draw 2 save when storage is available. Playing Draw 2 on the main Solitaire page uses that same position. Draw 1 and Draw 3 keep their own saves. Clearing site data removes local progress; private browsing may discard it when the window closes.
Questions about two-card Solitaire
Are Turn 2 and Draw 2 the same game?
They are two names for Klondike played with two cards dealt from the stock at a time. If just one card remains, that card is dealt by itself. The cards in the columns still follow the usual Klondike rules.
Can I play both cards from a Draw 2 pair?
You can use them one after the other if each has a legal destination. Move the top card first. The card it covered is then free to move; you cannot pick it out from underneath.
What happens when the stock runs out?
Tap the empty stock to recycle the waste and reveal the next pair in the same action. You can repeat this without a pass limit or a recycling score penalty. Undo reverses the entire recycle-and-draw action.
Why is a different card on top during the next pass?
On this board, an untouched pair exposes its other card on the next pass. Playing waste cards changes the remaining sequence, so later pairs may contain different partners. The stock is not shuffled into a new deal.
Does Draw 2 offer Verified deals?
No. Draw 2 uses random deals and has no Verified deal pool. Some starting layouts may be unsolvable. Hint can identify an available move, but it cannot guarantee that the game can be completed.
Will this replace my Draw 1 or Draw 3 game?
Draw 2 has its own saved position in this browser. This page shares that position with Draw 2 on the main Solitaire page; it does not replace the Draw 1 or Draw 3 save. Local progress needs browser storage and is lost if you clear site data.
Try the next pair
Return to the board and look at the top waste card. If you can move it, check what it uncovers before reaching for the stock again.
