People with Toot! installed may have noticed an early preview of this in the Relax menu.

@tootapp the three-suit solitaire really did bug my brain
@brunoph I have a few even more confounding things lined up too for the real release.
@tootapp I did notice, but only on my phone! I can’t find it on my tablet!
@bougiewonderland There’s no tablet layout (yet?) so it’s not enabled there, sadly!
@tootapp cool bonus feature! But maybe it’s buggy? I can’t drag the yellow 9 in this screenshot. Should I be able to do so?
@narthur No, that follows the rules of FreeCell (or more accurately here, Eight Off): you can technically only move single cards, but the game allows you to drag more if you have free spaces you could use for temporary storage.
@tootapp oh! That explains it. Thanks!
@tootapp but wait, why was I able to drag this stack?
@narthur You can build temporary stacks on the empty column, so that multiplies the number you can move even more. But note you couldn’t drag it to the empty column itself.

@tootapp interesting. So I could have moved 543 to the empty column, and put 76 on the bottom row, so it let me move it all together. (Pointlessly, but that’s fair.)

Thanks!

@tootapp @narthur Great game! Are the rules written down anywhere?
@mortenlarsen @narthur Not for now! It’s basically exactly the same as Eight Off but with three suits and six columns though.
@tootapp keeping the clock on screen is a great idea - it's really easy (for me) to lose track of time when I'm in "just one more game" mode!
@GopherPete Yeah I hate games that aren’t properly designed for the phone UI.
