Is this Solitaire draw one or draw three?

Draw one. Each click on the stock turns over a single card, so every card in the stock is playable on every pass. That makes it easier to win than draw three.

Klondike Solitaire comes in two common versions, and Trindo plays draw one.

The difference

  • Draw one: each click turns one card from the stock onto the waste. The top waste card is always available, so you can reach every card in the stock.
  • Draw three: each click turns three cards, and only the top one is playable. Cards buried in the middle may stay out of reach for a whole pass.

Draw one is the more forgiving version and wins far more often. It also pairs well with unlimited passes through the deck.
