Russian Solitaire: what to know before playing

Begin with the objective. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Use the rule sheet as a reference. 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.

One thing to notice as you play

Take a moment to read the table. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

What the game asks you to do

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
