Playing Klondike Solitaire Turn-3 — The Layout

Klondike Solitaire Turn-3 has a layout similar to regular Klondike. With a standard deck of 52 cards, both game versions have the same goal — build the Foundation piles from Ace to King. Even their Tableau area setup and Wastepile are similar. The only difference is in the number of cards revealed when you draw from the Stockpile. Instead of revealing only one card from the Stockpile, three are revealed. The catch? You can only access the top face-up card of the three cards you draw from the Stockpile.

  • 1.The Tableau

    The largest area in the game space is the Tableau. The Tableau has seven columns with one card in the first, two in the second, and so on. All cards are face-down except for the last card in each column, which faces up. Out of 52 cards used in the game, 28 are allocated to the Tableau, and 24 are saved for the Stockpile.

  • 2.The Stockpile

    The Stockpile holds the crucial difference to playing Klondike Solitaire Turn-3. All the cards in the Stockpile are placed face-down and in a stack. When you draw from the Stockpile, you can draw three cards at a time instead of one. However, you can only use the top card of the three revealed cards. Reaching for the buried cards will require using the top card first.

  • 3.The Waste Pile

    The Wastepile in Klondike Solitaire Turn-3 is similar to Turn-1. It is a space that will hold all your revealed Stockpile cards. In the Klondike Solitaire Turn-3 version, it will hold three face-up cards with access to only one card at a time. Once you can no longer use the cards from the Wastepile, you can draw more from the Stockpile. When the Stockpile is empty, the Wastepile is turned over and becomes the new Stockpile, allowing gameplay to continue.

    The Waste Pile
  • 4.The Foundation

    The Foundation consists of four slots that will host the suits from Aces to Kings. Stacking the Foundation is completely optional and won’t affect your gameplay — you can either stack your cards in the Foundation piles throughout the game, or you can just organize them within the Tableau. When you win, cards will automatically fly from the Tableau into the Foundation with a mesmerizing swirl.

Nurture the Power of Memorizing

  • 1.Organizing cards in the Foundation from Ace to King in their respective suits is your ultimate goal, so it’s only natural to be excited when you move cards to the Foundation piles. However, remember that your future moves within the Tableau may be blocked without a certain card that’s buried in the Foundation.

However, remember that your future moves within the Tableau may be blocked without a certain card that’s buried in the Foundation.
  • 2.Moving the cards around within the Tableau is going to be your main play. Formulate strategies to move cards below others in descending order with alternating colors. When you move a face-up card or multiple cards to a different column, a face-down card is revealed. Your objective will involve revealing all the face-down cards in the Tableau. Overwhelmed? This is when you can reach for help from the Stockpile.

Until you find a use for the top card, you cannot access the second or third cards. What’s the point of revealing three cards then? You get a sneak peek of all three cards at the same time!

Winning Tips and Quirky Tricks

  • Using Only a Few

    Irrespective of the number of times you draw from the Stockpile, three cards are opened every time you reach. Therefore, playing only one or two cards that you draw from the Stockpile will open a fresh card when you reach into the Stockpile again — instead of repeating those third cards on each draw.

  • Move Sequences

    Moving an entire sequence to another column will open opportunities for you. Alternatively, you can also move partial sequences to make room for more.

  • Kings of the Pack

    Your Kings are important, especially when you have higher-value cards in your stacks. Move a King to any empty column as soon as it is available. This strategy will help you organize your higher-value cards under the King and free up more cards to play.

  • Clear Your Mind

    Playing for long hours can cause brain fog, and you may not see an evident move in front of you. Using our HINT button will not only help you continue playing but will also reawaken your reasoning side.

  • Look Again

    Are you sure that you’re stuck with no possible moves? Look through the Stockpile again. It may hold a card that will work in your favor!

  • Did you know?

    It’s considered clever planning when you play only one or two cards, if possible, when drawing from the Stockpile in Klondike Solitaire Turn-3.

  • Did you know?

    You can foretell if you’ll win the game by looking at the colors of the cards on the Tableau. If the Tableau contains a majority of a single color, it’ll be difficult to win. In that case, it may be better for you to restart the game.

  • Did you know?

    You can use the UNDO button to backtrack any mistake you make when playing.
