Yukon Solitaire


Rules

Yukon Solitaire is played with one deck of 52 cards.

The cards are dealt in 7 rows of tableau stacks. Their lengths, from left to right, are: 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. The topmost 5 cards of each stack are face-up, while the rest of the cards underneath them are face-down.

There are 4 foundations that build up from Aces, in suit.

Groups of cards can be moved; the cards below the one to be moved do not need to be in any order, except that the starting and target cards must be built in sequence and in alternate color. For example, a group starting with a 5♠ can be moved on top a 6♥ or 6♦, and the cards below the 5♠ can differ.

When a face-down card becomes topmost, it is turned face up.

An empty tableau spots can be filled with any card or any group of cards.

The game is won when all the cards are in the foundations with the Kings on top.

Variants: strict mode allows only Kings or a group of cards starting with a King to be moved to an empty tableau spot.
