Play Yukon Solitaire Online
Yukon puts all 52 cards on the table, with no stock or waste to draw from later. Its 7 columns resemble Klondike, but most start with several face-up cards. Those cards can move in loose groups while you uncover the face-down cards and build the 4 foundations from Ace to King.
What sets Yukon apart is that a face-up card can move with every face-up card below it, even when that carried stack is out of order. Only the lead card has to land legally. If you are coming from Klondike Turn 1, that freedom feels generous at first, but careless stack moves can bury the exact card you needed next.
How the Yukon Table Is Dealt
The 7 Yukon columns contain 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 cards. Column 1 is fully exposed. Columns 2-7 begin with 1-6 hidden cards respectively, followed by 5 face-up cards each. That leaves 31 visible cards and 21 to uncover, with foundations building upward in suit above the tableau.
The Loose-Stack Rule
In Yukon, the moved stack does not need to be an ordered descending sequence. If the lead card can land on an opposite-color card one rank higher, every card beneath that lead card travels with it. A Jack can carry a messy tail, as long as the Jack itself lands on a Queen of the opposite color.
Empty Columns
Empty columns accept only a King or a stack headed by a King. Kings are valuable, but there is no rush to move one. Moving a King too early can use up the only open space you had for a better uncovering move.
Reading a Yukon Move
Before you move a loose stack, look at the card that will be exposed underneath it. A move that uncovers a hidden card is usually stronger than a move that only tidies the table. When 2 legal stack moves are available, favor the one that opens information instead of the one that makes the neatest-looking column.
Weighing a Group Move
Look for a group transfer that turns over a face-down card, but check the destination as well as the card being uncovered. The carried tail may block a useful landing rank there. Before moving a low card to a foundation, consider whether it still needs to receive another tableau card, such as a red 5 supporting a black 4.
If you enjoy open-table planning, compare it with FreeCell. FreeCell shows every card from the start, while Yukon keeps 21 cards face down, so you are always weighing whether a loose stack is worth the card it reveals.
Players who want a wider build-down puzzle can also try Spider 1 Suit. Spider moves only ordered stacks, while Yukon lets a jumbled stack move as long as its lead card fits. Scorpion keeps Yukon's loose-tail freedom but makes every landing same-suit, so it is a natural next table when that contrast feels interesting.
Yukon Questions
Is there a stock in Yukon?
No. All 52 cards are dealt to the tableau at the start, so every card you will ever need is already in one of the 7 columns.
Can I move cards that are out of order?
Yes, as long as they are face up and travel together behind a lead card that lands legally. You cannot pick a card out of the middle of a stack and leave the cards below it behind.
Can every Yukon deal be won?
Every Winnable deal has a known solution, while a Random deal may have none. Undo, hints, Auto finish and Is it winnable? are all available, and a signed-in win without them goes on the Yukon leaderboard. The how to play Yukon guide walks through the loose group move and how to dig out the face-down cards.
