Klondike (Relaxed) (Turn 3) Solitaire

The original. The one everyone calls just "solitaire".

Klondike Relaxed Turn 3 keeps the punishing three-card draw but bolts on unlimited redeals, undo, and lenient autoplay. Live win rates sit around 15% - still hard, but well above strict Turn 3's odds. The right entry point for players who want the Turn 3 rhythm without committing to a sub-10% challenge.

What makes Klondike (Relaxed) (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

  • Map the stock during pass one without playing from it. By pass two you'll know which third of the deck each card lives in.
  • Don't burn redeals chasing immediate plays - save them for genuinely stuck moments.
  • Play aces and twos to the foundation immediately, but think twice before sending higher cards - you may need them in the tableau.
