Play Russian Solitaire Online - Yukon's Tougher Cousin
Russian Solitaire is a challenging variant of Yukon with one critical difference: you must build tableau sequences by suit instead of alternating colors. This single change makes the game significantly harder, perfect for experienced players!
How to Play Russian Solitaire
Objective: Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles, building them up by suit from Ace to King.
Key Rules
- No Stock Pile: All cards dealt to tableau - complete visibility
- Build by Suit: Tableau builds down by suit (harder than alternating colors)
- Flexible Movement: Move any face-up card with all cards below it
- Kings Only: Empty tableau columns can only be filled with Kings
Difference from Yukon
The only difference from Yukon is the tableau building rule:
- Yukon: Build down in alternating colors (red-black-red...)
- Russian: Build down by suit (hearts on hearts, spades on spades...)
This makes Russian Solitaire significantly more difficult!
