Your guide to Yukon Solitaire

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build down in alternating colours. Any face-up card carries all cards below it, even when unordered. Kings fill empty columns. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

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. Use another round to revisit a decision.
