Your guide to Russian Solitaire
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. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Take a moment to read the table. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
