An introduction to playing Russian Solitaire
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. A clear plan starts with the current position. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
