Russian Solitaire: from controls to your first round
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Take a moment to read the table. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
A small practice goal
Work at your own pace. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
