Learn your way around Yukon Solitaire
Choose a round of Yukon Solitaire and settle into its rules. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
One deck, no stock, Yukon deal. Free solo play, no wagering.

Aim for this result
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
The playing sequence
- Build down in alternating colours. Any face-up card carries all cards below it, even when unordered. 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example before you play
A red 6 carrying an unordered tail can move onto a black 7. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
