Learn the rules of Russian Solitaire

Keep the active rule in mind. 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. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.

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

Practice with a purpose

Take a moment to read the table. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

The challenge in front of you

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.

How a round unfolds

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

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 heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

A useful caution

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
