Yukon Solitaire: rules and examples

Build familiarity through play

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

What you are aiming for

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Keep the active rule in mind.

The steps to play

  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.

Input guidance

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. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.

An important reminder

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.
