Triple Klondike is Klondike Solitaire dealt from three decks: 156 cards, fourteen columns across the table and twelve foundations waiting to be filled. The rules are the ones you know. What is new is the scale, and the only real skill it asks for is keeping track of it. Play free below, turning the stock one card or three.
Three standard decks are shuffled together into one game. A hundred and five cards go onto the table in fourteen columns, from one card to fourteen, and a fifteenth column is left open. The remaining fifty-one wait in the stock.
Twelve foundations sit along the top - three for every suit - and each is filled from Ace to King exactly as in the classic game. Any Ace of a suit can open any of that suit's three piles, and it does not matter which.
In one-deck Klondike you can hold the state of the game in your head. Here you cannot, and that is the honest reason Triple Klondike feels harder than it looks on paper - not the card count, but the number of places a card might belong.
A red 7 turning up in the waste can go to three different foundations or onto any black 8 on the table, and there may be three of those. Every turn offers more choices than the last one, and most of them are slightly wrong. Players who lose here rarely run out of moves; they run out of attention.
The board rewards a habit rather than a trick: before you touch anything, look at what the move buries. With fourteen columns, burying is the mistake that costs games.
The objective is to move all 156 cards onto the twelve foundations, each sorted by suit from Ace to King.
Double Solitaire is the same game one deck smaller: ten columns, eight foundations, and far easier to hold in your head.
Klondike Solitaire is where all of this comes from - one deck, seven columns, four foundations.
Pyramid Solitaire swaps building for arithmetic: clear the pyramid by pairing cards that add up to 13.
