Three Shuffles and Draw Solitaire

Objective

Three Shuffles and Draw is a variation of La Belle Lucie which has one bonus last move in case game can not be finished. The game is played with standard 52-cards set with aim to build all cards into the foundation piles.

Setup

TABLEAU - Tableau has 18 fans and all 52 cards are dealt face-up at the beginning. 17 fans get 3 cards each and 18th fan gets the remaining one card.

FOUNDATION - Four empty foundation piles.

Gameplay

  • Only the top card of each fan can be played.
  • Cards in a fan are build-down by suit.
  • Foundations can be started with Ace and are build-up by suit.
  • Empty fan can not be filled with any card.
  • Once all possible moves have been made, cards in the tableau are collected, shuffled and re-dealt to fans in a set of 3. Any remaining card(s) (less than 3) can be dealt to the last fan. Two such reshuffles are allowed in the game.
  • Once both reshuffles are exhausted and game is still not finished, there is one bonus move in which one buried card can be moved up and used to continue game.

The game ends once all cards are moved onto the foundation piles.

Controls

  • Drag and drop cards between two piles.
  • Double click any top card to automatically move to the foundation.
  • Once two reshuffles are exhausted, double click any buried card to move it to top of that fan. Only one such move is allowed.
