How to play Russian Solitaire

Bring your attention to one round of Russian Solitaire. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

An idea for your next attempt

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

What you are aiming for

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

How a round unfolds

  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. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

An example before you play

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

Pay attention to this rule

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
