How to play Klondike solitaire (Turn 3)

Klondike Turn 3 is the classic solitaire card game most people know from Windows — move all cards to four foundations, Ace to King by suit. Three cards are drawn from stock at a time for a tougher challenge.

Tableau 1 — Build tableau columns in descending rank with alternating colors. Click to select, then click a destination. Double-click to auto-move to foundation.

Tableau 2 — Build tableau columns in descending rank with alternating colors. Click to select, then click a destination. Double-click to auto-move to foundation.

Tableau — Seven columns where most play happens
Stock — Face-down draw pile
Waste — Face-up cards drawn from stock
Foundation — Four suit piles built Ace → King

Opening strategy

Treat the waste pile as a sequence you can plan around, not a random stream. Before taking a visible move, check whether it changes which third stock card becomes available on the next pass.

When you get stuck

The most common Turn 3 mistake is moving the first playable waste card immediately. Sometimes skipping a move preserves access to a better card deeper in the stock cycle.

Difficulty & win feel

Harder than Turn 1, closer to classic Microsoft Solitaire. Wins feel more earned because stock order and waste depth matter more.

Who it’s for

Turn 3 is best for players who want classic Microsoft-style Klondike, tougher stock decisions, and a familiar solitaire rhythm with more room for planning than Turn 1.
