Russian Solitaire: what to know before playing
Make Russian Solitaire your next activity in the game library. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Something to practise
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.
Understand the aim
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
An important reminder
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
