How to play Russian Solitaire
Choose a round of Russian Solitaire and settle into its rules. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The challenge in front of you
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How a round unfolds
- Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
How your actions work
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
See the idea in action
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
One detail worth checking
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
