Yukon Solitaire
Move any face-up card — and every card on top of it — to unbury hidden cards and build four foundations.
How to play
Yukon is a popular solitaire variant that gives you far more freedom than Klondike. There's no stock pile — all 52 cards are dealt face-up across seven columns from the start. The key innovation: you can move any face-up card, plus everything sitting on top of it, as a single group — even if those cards don't form a proper sequence. This freedom makes Yukon feel wide-open, but building four suit foundations from Ace to King still demands careful planning.
The setup
Seven columns are dealt in the standard Klondike diagonal (column 1 has 1 card, column 2 has 2, etc., all face-down except the top). The remaining 24 cards are then distributed 4 each to columns 2–7, all face-up.
Moving groups — Yukon's key rule
You can pick up any face-up card together with ALL cards on top of it (regardless of order or suit) and move the group to another column. The only constraint: the bottom card of the moving group must be one rank lower and opposite color from the top card of the destination column.
Empty columns
Only a King (or a group whose bottom card is a King) may be placed in an empty column. Use empty columns strategically to reorganize your tableau.
Foundations
Build four foundation piles up in suit from Ace to King. You can send any eligible top card directly to a foundation pile.
Flipping face-down cards
When you move a group off a column, the top face-down card that is revealed is automatically flipped face-up, opening new possibilities.
Winning
Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations (Ace through King per suit) to win. Unlike Klondike, there is no stock — every card is visible from the start, making Yukon highly strategic.
