Read before your next round of Yukon Solitaire

A clear plan starts with the current position. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build down in alternating colours. Any face-up card carries all cards below it, even when unordered. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

One deck, no stock, Yukon deal. Free solo play, no wagering.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Build down in alternating colours. Any face-up card carries all cards below it, even when unordered. Kings fill empty columns.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

The controls to know

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use another round to revisit a decision. Look at the complete hand before deciding.

Work through an example

A red 6 carrying an unordered tail can move onto a black 7. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

A mistake to avoid

Work at your own pace. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
