Solitaire Turn 3: Klondike Draw 3
Solitaire turn 3 is the traditional way to play Klondike: each click on the stock turns over three cards, and only the top one can be played. Playing it reveals the card beneath. This 3 card Klondike Solitaire is harder than Turn 1, because some stock cards are covered by others and cannot be played straight away.

▶ Play Draw 3Klondike Solitaire turn 3: three waste cards are visible, but only the top one can be played.
Read the waste pile in order
Only the top waste card is available. Look for a place for it first: the next card of its suit foundation, or a column where it continues an alternating-colour sequence. Playing it uncovers the next card, which may also fit.
What stays the same
Turn 3 keeps the same seven columns, the King-only rule for empty columns and the four Ace-to-King foundations. Only the way you reach the stock cards changes.
3 card Klondike solitaire tips
In 3 card Klondike Solitaire, a stock card can only be played once it reaches the top of the waste pile. Playing the top waste card whenever it fits uncovers the card beneath it and gives you more options. Turn over face-down table cards first, and keep a column free for a King when you can. Many players think of Klondike Solitaire turn three as the real classic.
