Getting started with Yukon Solitaire

Give this approach a try

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.

Understand the aim

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. 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.

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. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. A clear plan starts with the current position.

Learn from a sample situation

A red 6 carrying an unordered tail can move onto a black 7. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Where a round can go wrong

Begin with the objective. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
