Russian Solitaire: a guide for your next round

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. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. 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 small practice goal

Take a moment to read the table. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
