How to play Russian Solitaire

Choose a round of Russian Solitaire and settle into its rules. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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

A useful comparison

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

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 careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
