stock (upper left, no cards) -  There are two redeals.  After all possible plays have been made, redeal by clicking on the green arrow in the upper left corner.  All the cards in the fans are reshuffled.

Notes

There are two ways to move cards between fans, depending on the settings under Rules in the Options menu.  If Drag and Drop is set, the cards are dragged with the mouse.  If Click is set, clicking on a card in a fan automatically moves it to the one other fan that it can move to.

 

History

Trefoil is a variation of La Belle Lucie.  The difference is that in Trefoil the four Aces are dealt to the foundations at the beginning of the game.   This makes it slightly easier to win.
