Strategy & tips
- Triple-deck Klondike requires bookkeeping. Track which suit-instance each card is going onto - they advance independently.
- Empty columns become the spine of the late game. Hoard them through the early stock cycles.
- Play aces and twos to the foundation immediately, but think twice before sending higher cards - you may need them in the tableau.
