Russian Solitaire: instructions and practice
Start Russian Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The playing sequence
- Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Input guidance
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See the idea in action
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
