Learn your way around Yukon Solitaire

Bring this focus to a round

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.

What the game asks you to do

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use another round to revisit a decision. A clear plan starts with the current position.

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.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Begin with the objective.

An example before you play

A red 6 carrying an unordered tail can move onto a black 7. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Where a round can go wrong

Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
