SOLITAIRE IN THREE HOURS

As usual, regular users of the solitaire section are quite difficult to surprise. However, this is just such a case. Even the name of this unusual solitaire game is slightly intriguing. What is in three? We tell you.

It's all about a completely unusual solitaire showdown. Traditionally, cards are placed on top of each other according to the rule of increasing or decreasing ranks and with the preservation or alternation of suit. Here it seems to be the same, but... When transferring one card to another, you need to observe the suit, but what about the ranks? To carry out the transfer, it is necessary that the transferred card is older than the one on which it is going to be placed by three ranks. Hence the name through three.

Let's explain with an example. To begin with, we note that the card sorting area in this game is the top three rows. The lower row is replenished from the rest of the deck and is used in parsing along with the upper ones. You can move fives to twos, eights to fives, jacks to eights, aces to jacks, sevens to fours, tens to sevens, kings to tens, sixes to threes, nines to sixes, and queens to nines.

In the first (top row), as a result of successful disassembly, there should be 8 packs of deuces-aces, in the second — threes-ladies, in the third — four-kings. The bottom row is fully consumed.

Solitaire is very difficult. It requires constant attention and recalculation after each move, which takes a lot of time. Difficulty is added by the ability to flip through the deck only once.

Have a nice game!
