Objective
The objective of Russian Solitaire is to move all cards to the four foundation piles, building each pile up in suit from Ace to King.
Setup
- There are 7 tableau piles.
- The first tableau pile is dealt 1 card face up.
- The second tableau pile is dealt 6 cards, with the first card face down and the remaining cards face up.
- Each subsequent tableau pile is dealt one additional card, with an increasing number of face-down cards at the beginning of each pile. For example, the third pile is dealt 7 cards, with the first 2 cards face down and the remaining cards face up.
Rules
Russian Solitaire rules are almost identical to Yukon Solitaire rules with one difference(highlighted):
- Tableau piles are built down in the same suit (e.g., a 9♠ on a 10♠).
- You are allowed to move any card along with all the cards covering it.
- Only King or sequences of cards starting with a King can be placed in an empty tableau spot.
- Foundations are built up in the same suit from Ace to King.
