Alaska Solitaire

About Alaska Solitaire

Alaska Solitaire is based on Yukon, but lets tableau sequences build both up and down in the same suit. That extra freedom makes the board more flexible and easier to tangle.

Look for moves that uncover face-down cards while keeping suits connected. Do not move a stack just because it is legal; each move should create a better option.

Yukon is the cleaner comparison if you want a more direct version. Alaska is better when you want more mobility and more complicated choices.
