Play Yukon Solitaire for Free Online
Yukon Solitaire is a no-stock solitaire game where all 52 cards are dealt at the start. The playable version above lets you move any face-up card with the cards covering it, build tableau columns in alternating colors, and work toward four Ace-to-King foundations.
Objective
The objective is to move every card to the four foundations from Ace to King by suit while using flexible tableau stack moves to uncover hidden cards.
Setup and Play Area
- Yukon Solitaire uses one standard 52-card deck with no jokers.
- Seven tableau columns are dealt at the start, and there is no stock or waste pile.
- The first part of the deal resembles Klondike, then extra face-up cards are dealt into the tableau.
- Foundations build upward by suit from Ace to King.
- Empty tableau spaces can only be filled by Kings or stacks that begin with a King.
Available Moves
- Move a single face-up card or a face-up stack onto a card one rank higher and the opposite color.
- The carried stack does not need to be ordered, which is the major difference from Klondike.
- Move Aces and then higher cards to the foundations by suit.
- Move Kings into empty tableau spaces.
- Win by completing all four foundations.
Yukon Solitaire Strategy
- Use the ability to move unordered stacks to uncover face-down cards quickly.
- Do not bury useful low cards under long stacks unless the move exposes a stronger hidden card.
- Create empty spaces for Kings only when they unlock new movement or reveal hidden cards.
- Prioritize exposing hidden cards over making tidy-looking columns.
- Before sending a card to the foundation, check whether it still helps hold an alternating-color tableau stack together.
Variants
- Yukon is closely related to Klondike, but has no stock and much more flexible stack movement.
- Russian Solitaire is a harder relative that builds tableau cards down by suit instead of alternating color.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Yukon Solitaire different from Klondike?
Yukon has no stock pile, and any face-up card can move with the cards covering it even if that carried stack is not ordered.
Can any card fill an empty Yukon tableau space?
No. Empty tableau spaces are for Kings or stacks that begin with a King.
What should I prioritize in Yukon Solitaire?
Prioritize moves that uncover hidden cards, because every card is already in the tableau and hidden cards are the main blocker.
