THE PLAYBOOK · DJCFW
Read before your next round of Russian Solitaire
Start Russian Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Input guidance
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A closer look at one example
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
