The essentials of playing Russian Solitaire
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. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Take a moment to read the table.
An example before you play
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Keep this in mind
