The essentials of playing Yukon Solitaire
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. 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. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build down in alternating colours. Any face-up card carries all cards below it, even when unordered. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One deck, no stock, Yukon deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
A clear plan starts with the current position. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
