A practical guide to Russian Solitaire

A clear plan starts with the current position. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

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

A focus for your next round

Work at your own pace. 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. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

How to use 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. Use the rule sheet as a reference.

Try this example

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

Notice this detail

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
