Learn your way around Russian Solitaire

Something to practise

Before making a move, check the cards in view. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

What counts as success

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Look at the complete hand before deciding.

How to proceed

  1. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Input guidance
