The essentials of playing Yukon Solitaire
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Work at your own pace. Build down in alternating colours. Any face-up card carries all cards below it, even when unordered. Kings fill empty columns. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
One deck, no stock, Yukon deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
One thing to notice as you play
A clear plan starts with the current position. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
