How to control Yukon Solitaire
The exact assistance effects and usage limits should be read in the active player.
Yukon Solitaire uses a Klondike-like seven-column tableau and four suit foundations, but there is no stock. Every card begins somewhere in the tableau, and a face-up card can carry the cards below it as a group when its leading card fits the destination. That freedom makes dramatic rearrangements possible, yet a careless long move can bury an Ace or another card needed to finish the foundations.
Testing the current game confirmed seven tableau columns, four foundations, face-up and face-down cards, and no stock. Build hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades from Ace through King to complete the deal.
Because no stock is waiting to reveal another card, every needed rank is already in the tableau. Progress comes from moving groups to uncover face-down cards and creating access to low foundation cards.
The alternating-color destination and four foundations resemble Klondike. The important difference is the group that follows the selected face-up card.
In standard Yukon, the selected leading card must fit its destination by alternating color and descending rank. The face-up cards below it travel along even when they do not form a clean sequence. If a black 8 can move to a red 9, the cards attached below that black 8 may move with it.
The active player decides the exact selectable group. Before moving a long group, inspect its middle and tail. A low card trapped inside an untidy group may become harder to extract after the move.
Being allowed to move many cards does not automatically make a move helpful. Use group movement to reveal a card, extend a useful alternating-color destination, or position a King—not merely to change column heights.
The tested player displays Score, Time, and Moves above the tableau. Controls below the cards include undo, help, a trophy, and additional assistance buttons. The existence of those buttons is confirmed, but the exact effect and cost of each assistance feature have not been fully tested.
At a 390px viewport, the seven columns and lower controls adapted cleanly, with large readable card faces and practical touch targets. The interface displayed English during testing, so a fixed Japanese or other localized interface is not guaranteed.
An empty column is powerful only when a useful King can enter it. Before clearing a column, locate the available King and consider whether its attached cards help or hinder the new sequence.
Move Aces and low cards to foundations when doing so releases the tableau, but do not advance one color blindly. A foundation card may still be needed as support for an alternating-color move. Compare the two opposite-color cards of the same rank before sending one away.
Klondike has a stock and normally moves properly ordered sequences. Scorpion also moves attached face-up groups, but builds same-suit King-to-Ace runs in the tableau. FreeCell uses four temporary cells. See all variants in the solitaire guide.
No. The tested version deals all cards into seven tableau columns.
Under standard Yukon rules, cards below a valid leading card travel with it even if they are not neatly ordered. The player’s move validation remains final.
The common rule allows a King or a group led by a King.
Yes. Testing at 390px showed readable cards, a fitted seven-column layout, and usable lower controls.
