Game Setup & Layout
Identical to Yukon: 52 cards dealt to seven tableau columns with no stock pile. This layout originated from Russian card game traditions.
- Same Yukon layout: Column 1 gets 1 card, columns 2-7 get progressively more
- Foundations: Build Ace to King by SUIT only
- No Stock/Waste: Plan carefully - no backup cards
Primary Objective
Build all four foundation piles from Ace to King, one per suit.
Critical Rule: Tableau building requires SAME SUIT, not alternating colors. A Queen of Hearts can only go on a King of Hearts!
Core Move Rules
- Build tableau columns in descending order BY SUIT (♥9 on ♥10, not ♠9 on ♥10).
- Move ANY face-up card (same as Yukon) - cards on top travel with it.
- Only Kings can fill empty columns.
- Foundations accept cards in ascending order by suit (Ace → King).
Pro Strategy Tips
- Suit matching is brutal - focus on one or two suits at a time.
- Empty columns are even more valuable here - use them wisely.
- Look for suit chains hidden under face-down cards.
- Sometimes a game is unwinnable from the start - don't feel bad restarting.
- Build foundations more aggressively since you can't shuffle colors.
