Rules, controls and help for Russian Solitaire

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

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

Something to practise

Begin with the objective. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Your objective

Put the rules into context

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Use another round to revisit a decision.

A mistake to avoid
