Yukon Solitaire
Yukon looks like Klondike with no draw pile, and plays nothing like it. Every column is dealt out in front of you, and you can pick up any face-up card along with everything sitting on top of it — in any order at all.
How to play Yukon Solitaire
Yukon looks like Klondike, but every card is dealt to the table — there is no draw pile. The goal is the same: build the four suit piles from Ace up to King.
Columns are built downwards in alternating colours. The difference is that any face-up card can be moved, together with everything on top of it, even when the cards above it are not in order.
Only a King can be moved into an empty column. A face-down card turns over as soon as it is uncovered.
Look for moves that free up face-down cards; those are where the game is won.
You can play entirely with the keyboard: Tab puts a cursor on the table, the arrow keys move it, Enter picks a card up and puts it down, and S reads out everything on the table.
Questions people ask
How is Yukon different from Klondike?
There is no stock to turn: every card is already on the table. And you can move a card together with the whole pile on top of it even when that pile is in no particular order, which is the move Klondike never lets you make.
Where does the difficulty come from?
Face-down cards. Digging one out often means shifting a large messy stack somewhere it will be in your way later, and choosing where to put it is the real game.
Can most Yukon deals be won?
A large majority, with care. It rewards looking at the whole table before touching anything more than almost any other game here.
