How to Play Triple Triangle Solitaire

This three-deck variant challenges you to build foundations by moving cards from a large triangular tableau. You get one pass through the deck to clear the table.

Setup

1. Use three full decks (156 cards total)
2. Arrange 13 tableau piles in a triangle: the first pile has 1 card, the second has 2, continuing to 13 cards in the last pile
3. All tableau cards are face up
4. Set up 12 foundation piles (one per suit, three of each)

How to play

• Build each foundation pile from Ace up to King in the same suit
• On the tableau, place a card one rank lower and opposite color on top of another card
• You can move a group of cards together if they form a valid sequence on the tableau
• Only a King can fill an empty tableau pile
• Click the stock to deal one card to every tableau pile; you get only one pass with no redeal
• When a card in the tableau cannot be built on anything, it moves to the foundation automatically

How to win

Objective: Move all cards to the foundations in ascending order by suit

You win when all cards are on the foundations. The game is over when you run out of stock cards and no more moves are available.

Tips

• All tableau cards start face up, so scan every pile for foundation plays before you deal more from the stock
• Plan your foundation building carefully since you only get one pass through the stock
• Look for opportunities to create empty tableau piles, which give you more flexibility
