How to Play Yukon Solitaire
Move all 52 cards to the foundations to win. These are the rules used by the game above.
- Build down in alternating colorsPut a black 8 on a red 9. Only the first card of a moving group must fit its destination.
- Move an entire face-up groupSelect any face-up card. Every card below it travels too, even if the group is not in order.
- Uncover face-down cardsRemove the face-up group above a hidden card to reveal it.
- Save empty columns for KingsOnly a King, alone or leading a group, can enter an empty column.
- Complete the foundationsMove exposed Aces up first, then build each suit through its King. There is no stock to draw from.
Yukon Solitaire Rules, Demonstrated
Watch one move at a time. Replay an example whenever you need it; the written rule stays visible.
Move a group even when it is out of order
The black 8 fits on a red 9. Its followers come along unchanged, even though the Queen and 3 do not form a sequence.
8♠ Q♥ 3♣ can move together onto 9♥.
Reveal the card beneath a group
Moving a face-up group away turns over the newly exposed face-down card. That new information can open another move.
Move 8♠ onto 9♥ to uncover the hidden card.
Only Kings can fill empty columns
A Queen cannot enter an empty column. A King can, with any face-up followers it carries.
K♥ fits an empty column; Q♣ does not.
The Yukon Deal: 52 Cards, No Stock
The 7 columns contain 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 cards. The first column has 1 face-up card. Each later column has 5 face-up cards, with 1 to 6 face-down cards beneath them.
That makes 31 face-up cards and 21 hidden cards at the start. All cards are on the table, but not all are visible. There is no draw pile and no redeal.
A Better First Few Moves in Yukon
- Uncover a hidden cardPrefer a move that reveals new information over one that only rearranges visible cards.
- Trace the whole groupCheck what follows the card you want to move. Carrying a useful card elsewhere can block your next step.
- Find a King before clearing a columnAn empty column only helps if a King or King-led group can use it.
- Work backward from the blocked cardFind its legal destination, then work out what must move to expose that destination. Use Undo when a route closes off.
- Compare before committingUse Undo to test another route when a move leaves fewer useful options.

Common Yukon Questions
Why can I move a messy stack?
Yukon checks the chosen card against its destination. The face-up cards below it are passengers: they move together without needing to form a sequence.
Why can I not move a Queen into an empty column?
Empty columns accept Kings only. A Queen needs an exposed King of the opposite color to land on.
How does Yukon differ from Klondike and Russian?
Klondike has a stock pile and requires ordered groups. Yukon has no stock and allows unordered groups. Russian Solitaire uses Yukon's group movement but builds by suit instead of alternating colors.
Is every Yukon deal solvable?
No. Hidden cards and blocked groups can leave a deal without a route to completion. A hint shows a legal move, not a guarantee that the deal can be won.
