Hi,

I've started this games several times and my eyes are very tiiiiiiiired.
Can you tell me if this game is winnable ?

Yes, Klondike Deal Three #674 is winnable. :-)

It took me several attempts before I finally won it. My solution is far too long to actually write here, but I can give you a few hints as to how I won it.

First, there is a Red Dragon buried deep in the rightmost column, so freeing that has to be a priority. Also, there are Dragons in both the 3rd and 4th positions in the stock, so after getting the first (3rd), resist the temptation to play the tile underneath. This will cause the other Dragon (now in the 3rd position) to be available on the next trip through the stock.

Ultimately, I ended up building the Crak/Character foundations way beyond the other two groups in order to free all of the tableau columns. (I think that I actually played one of the Nines before the other foundation groups were beyond Ones or Twos.)

I hope that helps.

Thanks. I've solved it by chance :-) It is one of the toughest solitaire I've done.
