How to Play Yukon Solitaire?

Yukon Solitaire is more challenging and strategic than Klondike Solitaire. It introduces various rules that really require much more planning and foresight than its predecessor. Played with a standard 52-card deck, Yukon Solitaire is noted for its interactive game and satisfying complexity. It's a favorite among solitaire enthusiasts who enjoy a deeper challenge.

To set up the game, all 52 cards are dealt into seven tableau piles. The first pile has one card, the second contains two cards, and so on until seven cards in the seventh pile. All of the cards in the tableau are dealt out face up except for the bottom cards of the first few piles face down. Unlike Klondike, there is no stockpile or reserve pile. The goal is to move all cards to the four foundation piles, which are built up in ascending order by suit, starting with Aces.

In the tableau, cards can be moved in descending order and must be of alternating color, such as a red 5 on a black 6. Yukon Solitaire differs from Klondike, however, in that one can move any length sequences of cards, even if they are not in proper order. Thus, for example, a sequence starting with a red 8 can be moved to a black 9 even if the cards below the 8 are not in descending order. Empty tableau spaces can only be filled with Kings or sequences beginning with a King.

Yukon Solitaire is a really strategic game that pays off when one thinks hard and plans carefully. With its open tableau and its movement rules, it is a more dynamic and complex form of solitaire, offering endless creative and problem-solving opportunities. Be a novice or seasoned solitaire player, the challenging and satisfying experience that Yukon Solitaire has in store will be sure to keep you engrossed.
