Yukon Solitaire FAQ
Answers to common questions about Yukon Solitaire.
What is Yukon Solitaire?
Yukon is a solitaire game played with one deck where all cards start face-down except the bottom card of each of the 7 tableau columns. Unlike Klondike, you can move any face-up card with its stack, but still must alternate colors.
How is Yukon different from Klondike?
Unlike Klondike, Yukon allows you to move any face-up card along with all cards stacked below it. There's no stock pile—each column starts with 1 to 6 face-down cards and 1 face-up card.
What cards can I move in Yukon?
Only face-up cards can be moved. When you move a face-up card, all cards below it in the same suit sequence move with it. Cards must alternate colors and descend in rank.
What can fill empty tableau columns?
Empty tableau columns in Yukon can only be filled with Kings or King stacks. This is a key difference from games that allow any card to fill empty columns.
How do I win at Yukon?
Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles, building each up by suit from Ace to King. Foundation rules are the same as Klondike—only Aces start new piles.
Is there a stock pile in Yukon?
No, Yukon has no stock pile. All cards are dealt at the start—some face-down (which you must flip by clearing cards above them) and some face-up.
Can I undo moves in Yukon?
Yes, Yukon features unlimited undo. Undoing reverses your last move and restores the previous game state.
What's the best strategy for Yukon?
Prioritize flipping face-down cards by removing cards blocking them. Empty columns are valuable—prepare them before moving Kings. Don't rush to build foundations.
How do I flip face-down cards?
Face-down cards flip automatically when the cards covering them are moved away. Focus on breaking down columns to expose hidden cards.
Is Yukon harder than Klondike?
Yukon is often considered harder due to its unique layout where columns contain 1-11 cards, and the restriction on filling empty columns with only Kings.
