Klondike Solitaire Turn 3

Klondike Solitaire Turn 3 is a digital adaptation of the classic single-player card game, a variant of the standard Klondike Solitaire where cards are drawn from the stockpile in groups of three. The game is typically included in software packages such as Microsoft Windows, where it has been a standard component since Windows 3.0. The objective is to move all 52 cards to four foundation piles, one for each suit, building from Ace to King. The game uses a standard 52-card deck. The tableau consists of seven columns, with the first column containing one card, the second two, and so on up to seven. Only the top card of each tableau column is face-up. The remaining cards form the stockpile, which is drawn from in sets of three. The waste pile holds cards drawn from the stockpile. Foundations are built in ascending order by suit. Tableau columns are built in descending order and alternating colors. The primary distinction from Turn 1 is the draw rule: three cards are turned over at a time from the stockpile, increasing the difficulty by limiting access to specific cards. The game is won when all cards are placed in the foundations.

Gameplay and controls are executed through mouse or touch input. The player interacts with the game board, which displays the tableau, stockpile, waste pile, and foundation areas. To draw cards, the player clicks or taps the stockpile. Each action reveals three cards from the top of the stockpile and places them face-up on the waste pile, with the topmost card being the only one immediately accessible. The player can then click and drag a card from the waste pile to a tableau column or foundation. Cards can also be moved between tableau columns by clicking and dragging a single card or a sequence of face-up cards that are in descending order and alternating colors. Double-clicking a card automatically moves it to a foundation if the move is legal. The player can undo moves, typically via a dedicated button or menu option, which reverses the last action. The game provides a timer and a move counter, displayed on the interface. A hint function may be available to suggest a legal move. The game ends when no further moves are possible, or when all cards are in the foundations. The player can restart the game or start a new deal at any time. The interface also includes options to adjust sound, animation speed, and card back design.
