The essentials of playing Russian Solitaire
Take a moment to read the table. 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. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.
