How to play Russian Solitaire

The XH0411 guide to Russian Solitaire starts with explain your choice. Your task is to build four suit foundations from ace to king. The controls and example below describe this exact implementation.

Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.

Explain your choice

Try describing the reason for a move or action in one sentence. If the reason is unclear, revisit the rules before continuing.

Your goal

Build four suit foundations from ace to king.

Step by step

  1. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown.

A useful example

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy.

Common questions

Can you show a concrete example?

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7.
