Yukon Solitaire — rules and how to play

This page documents the exact Yukon Solitaire rules implemented in Solitarium.io.

Objective

Move all 52 cards to the four foundations, building each foundation up by suit from Ace to King.

Setup (classic Yukon deal)

  • There is no Stock and no Waste — all 52 cards are dealt into the tableau.
  • Deal: Column 1 starts with 1 face-up card. Columns 2–7 start with 1–6 face-down cards (increasing by 1 each column), then 5 face-up cards.
  • Foundations start empty.

Piles (what each area is)

  • Tableau: 7 columns where most play happens.
  • Foundations: four suit piles (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs) built up from Ace → King.

Allowed moves

  • Tableau builds: place the moving stack’s top card onto a tableau column if it is one rank lower and the opposite color (example: 8♥ on 9♣). Empty columns accept Kings only.
  • Move stacks: you can grab any face-up card in a tableau column and move it together with all cards above it (the moved stack does not need to be internally ordered).
  • Foundations: move a face-up top tableau card to its foundation if it is the same suit and one rank higher (Ace starts an empty foundation).
  • From foundations: you can move the top card of a foundation back to the tableau if legal.
  • Flip: after cards are moved away from a column, if the new top card is face-down it flips face-up automatically.

Controls and helpers

  • Drag and drop: drag a tableau stack or a foundation top card to make a move.
  • Double-click / double-tap: on a tableau column’s top card, attempts a move to the foundation (if legal).
  • Undo / redo: Undo is available in the HUD and via Cmd/Ctrl+Z; Redo via Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z (or Ctrl+Y on Windows).
  • Hint: suggests a legal move when one exists.

Auto-finish

Auto-finish becomes available once all tableau cards are face-up and at least one tableau-to-foundation move is available. It then repeatedly moves available top tableau cards to foundations.

Saving and sharing

  • Your progress auto-saves locally in the browser and restores if you refresh or reopen the tab.
  • Use Share to copy a short link that recreates the same starting deal (seed-based).
