Rules

Only the top card in the Tableau Piles can be played, and these cards can move to other Tableau Piles or to the Foundations.^[3] Empty spaces cannot be filled by any other card. "The name "Three Shuffles and a Draw" comes from the fact that there are 3 shuffles (counting the original starting shuffle plus the 2 redeals, and then a draw, where you can free any one single buried card)".^[4] The game is won after all cards have been moved to the Foundations.
