What makes Klondike (Relaxed) (Triple) (Turn 3) different

- Stock turns three cards at a time - only the top of the three is playable.
- Relaxed rules - extra redeals, wraps and undo concessions to make the game more forgiving.
Strategy & tips
- Two- and three-deck variants live or die on column space. Empty columns are precious - protect them and don't fill them with low-value blocks.
- Turn-3 stocks let you skip cards by triple. Cycle the stock once before committing to a plan; you'll know which cards are reachable.
- Relaxed mode invites experimentation. Use redeals to learn the deck before settling on a route.
- Play aces and twos to the foundation immediately, but think twice before sending higher cards - you may need them in the tableau.
