What makes Klondike (Relaxed) (Turn 1) different
- Stock turns one card at a time - slower but more deliberate.
- Relaxed rules - extra redeals, wraps and undo concessions to make the game more forgiving.
Strategy & tips
- Use the first redeal as a scouting pass - see what's in the deck before committing to any tableau plan.
- Treat undo as a planning aid, not a get-out-of-jail card. Repeated undo erodes the puzzle.
- Play aces and twos to the foundation immediately, but think twice before sending higher cards - you may need them in the tableau.
