About Yukon Solitaire

Yukon Solitaire looks like Klondike and plays nothing like it. All 52 cards are dealt into seven tableau columns with no stock pile and no waste — everything you will ever get is on the table from the first second. The twist is that you can pick up any face-up card along with every card sitting on top of it, whether or not they form a sequence, and drop the whole group onto a card one higher and of the opposite colour.

That single rule changes the game completely. There is no luck of the draw and no shuffling your way out of trouble: every deal is solvable or not from the layout you can see, and losing is your fault. Most players find it harder than Klondike and better for it.

  1. All 52 cards are dealt across seven columns; there is no stock to draw from.
  2. Move a face-up card together with every card on top of it — the group does not need to be in order.
  3. Drop it on a card one rank higher and the opposite colour, or into an empty column (kings only in most rules).
  4. Build the four foundations up in suit from ace to king.
  5. Clear every card to the foundations to win.

Yukon Solitaire tips

  • Uncover the face-down cards first. A buried column you never open is how a deal is lost.
  • Because you can move any group, a single low card can drag a huge stack somewhere useful — look for that move before anything tidier.
  • Don't rush aces to the foundation; a low card in the tableau is often the only landing spot for a group.
  • Plan two or three moves ahead. With no stock pile there is no rescue, so a move that looks free usually isn't.

Yukon Solitaire — questions

What is the difference between Yukon and Klondike Solitaire?

Yukon deals every card face up with no stock pile, and lets you move any face-up card together with all the cards on top of it, even if they aren't in sequence. Klondike only lets you move ordered runs and gives you a stock to draw from.

Is Yukon Solitaire winnable every time?

No. A good share of deals are solvable with careful play, but some layouts cannot be won. Because nothing is hidden behind a shuffle, a lost game is usually a planning mistake rather than bad luck.

Does Yukon Solitaire work on a phone?

Yes — drag or tap cards to move them. It runs in the browser with nothing to install.
