Know the goal in Yukon Solitaire

A focus for your next 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.

The challenge in front of you

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use another round to revisit a decision. Begin with the objective.

How a round unfolds

  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.

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. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table.

Put the rules into context

A red 6 carrying an unordered tail can move onto a black 7. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Avoid this misunderstanding

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.
