How to play Russian Solitaire

This QTHCC page combines Russian Solitaire with a guide to the decisions it asks you to make. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use control confidence to give your round a clear purpose.

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

Control confidence

Check the controls before starting. On a touch screen, keep the game area visible and use the labelled buttons where they are provided.

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

Which controls should I use?

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

Can you show a concrete example?
