Only the top card in the tableau piles can be played, and these cards can move to other tableau piles or to the foundations. 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).
The game is won after all cards have been moved to the foundations.
