Russian Solitaire: what to know before playing
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Work at your own pace. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
