Play Russian Solitaire with the rules at hand

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. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Begin with the objective. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.

Give this approach a try

Keep the active rule in mind. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.

What you are aiming for

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Before making a move, check the cards in view.

The playing sequence

  1. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. 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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Look at the complete hand before deciding.

See the idea in action

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

A useful caution

Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
