PlayThe eight 3's are removed and placed in 8 piles at the top of the screen. These are the Foundations. The Foundations are built up in suit, from the 3's up to King, then Ace, then 2. The game is won if all the cards are moved to the Foundations.Eight cards are dealt to 8 piles below the Foundations to form the Tableau. The Tableau piles are built down in suit. The top card of any Tableau pile may be moved to the Foundations or another Tableau pile. In addition, any group of cards can be moved from one Tableau pile to another. Spaces in the Tableau can be filled by any card. The remainder of the cards are placed face down in the Stock. The Stock is turned over 1 card at a time to the wastepile. The top card of the wastepile is always available for play on the Foundations or Tableaus. There is no redeal. HistoryThree's Company is more difficult to win than Deuces or Busy Aces. Although multiple card moves are allowed in the tableau, there are fewer tableaus (8 compared to 10 for Deuces). Three's Company was invented by Thomas Warfield.For explanations of the terms used in these rules, see the Glossary of Solitaire Terms. |
