Game Description: Yukon Solitaire is a popular and challenging solo card game that requires strategy and patience. It’s a variation of the classic Klondike Solitaire, but with a few twists that make it more engaging and exciting.

How to Play:

  1. Shuffle a standard deck of 52 cards (without jokers) and deal seven columns of cards, with the top card facing up and the rest facing down.
  2. The remaining cards are placed in a face-down deck.
  3. The goal is to move all the cards to the foundation piles, which are built up in suit from Ace to King.
  4. You can move cards from the columns to the foundation piles or to other columns, but you must follow the standard Solitaire rules:
    • You can move a card from the top of one column to the top of another column if the cards are in descending order and in the same suit.
    • You can move a card from the top of a column to the foundation piles if it’s in the correct order (Ace to King) and in the same suit.
  5. You can draw cards from the deck to add to the columns or use them to move cards around.
  6. If you’ve used all the cards in the deck and there are no more moves left, the game is over.

Full Details:

Setup: To set up the game, deal seven columns of cards, with the top card facing up and the rest facing down. The remaining cards are placed in a face-down deck.

Foundation Piles: The foundation piles are built up in suit from Ace to King. For example, the Ace of hearts is the first card in the foundation pile for hearts, followed by the 2 of hearts, then the 3 of hearts, and so on, until the King of hearts.

Column Rules: The columns are built down in suit, with the top card facing up. You can move cards from one column to another if the cards are in descending order and in the same suit. For example, if you have a 3 of hearts on top of a 4 of hearts, you can move a 2 of hearts from another column to the top of the 4 of hearts.

Drawing Cards: You can draw cards from the deck to add to the columns or use them to move cards around. When you draw a card, you can choose to place it on top of a column or use it to move cards around.

Game Over: If you’ve used all the cards in the deck and there are no more moves left, the game is over. You can try to restart the game or try a different variation of Solitaire.

Tips and Strategies: To win at Yukon Solitaire, you’ll need to use strategy and think ahead. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

  • Try to move cards to the foundation piles as soon as possible to clear the columns and make room for new cards.
  • Use the columns to move cards around and create sequences.
  • Don’t be afraid to draw cards from the deck to add to the columns or use them to move cards around.
  • Try to keep the columns organized and tidy to make it easier to move cards around.

I hope you enjoy playing Yukon Solitaire! Remember to take your time, think strategically, and have fun.
