How to Play Klondike 3 Solitaire on Green Felt

Klondike 3 Solitaire, also known as Maze, is a popular solitaire card game that can be played with ease on green felt. The game involves moving cards around to create sequences of four suits from Ace to Queen. In this article, we will guide you through the rules and strategies of playing Klondike 3 Solitaire on green felt.

To start, move the dragged card(s) to the destination for a second. This will have the same effect as clicking each card individually. If you cancel the drag or undo the move, all the cards will return to their original position.

When dragging a card or cards to the middle of a stack, it will attempt to move all the cards above the destination out of the way. The effect is the same as clicking each card individually. You can use super moves to make your gameplay more efficient by moving multiple cards at once.

If you click or drag a card that isn't immediately accessible, it will attempt to move all the cards above it in its stack until the move is valid.

The game is won when all 48 cards are arranged in four suit sequences from Ace to Queen. The rows run from left to right and top to bottom, so gaps on the extreme left or right of a row can be filled with cards that have the same suit and rank lower or higher than the card on either side.

A gap to the left of an Ace cannot be filled, while a gap to the right of a Queen can be filled with any Ace or a card that is the same suit and has a rank lower than the card on the gap's right.

When filling gaps, you should aim to fill them with cards that are the same suit and have a rank higher than the card on the gap's left or one that is the same suit and has a rank lower than the card on the gap's right, whichever is more advantageous.

After the game is won, there will be six gaps remaining – four left behind by the Kings and two spaces formed on the first two rows. The Kings are then removed from play and discarded.

In total, the game should have 8 cards in the first two rows and 9 cards in each of the remaining rows. Klondike 3 Solitaire is more akin to another solitaire game, Gaps, but with less mechanical gameplay.

To start a new game, lay out all 52 cards into 6 rows, similar to a 6x9 grid. Although the words 'maze' and 'labyrinth' are synonymous, Klondike 3 Solitaire should not be confused with Labyrinth, as they have different gameplay mechanics.

By following these rules and strategies, you can enjoy hours of fun playing Klondike 3 Solitaire on green felt. With its easy-to-learn gameplay and challenging levels, this game is perfect for solitaire enthusiasts of all skill levels.
