A practical guide to Russian Solitaire
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Work at your own pace. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
