The essentials of playing Russian Solitaire
A clear plan starts with the current position. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
