Yukon Solitaire: how a round works

Work at your own pace. 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. A clear plan starts with the current position. Build down in alternating colours. Any face-up card carries all cards below it, even when unordered. Kings fill empty columns. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

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

Try a more deliberate round

Work at your own pace. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

What the game asks you to do

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. A clear plan starts with the current position.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

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. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Use the rule sheet as a reference.

Try this example

A red 6 carrying an unordered tail can move onto a black 7. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
