Yukon is Klondike's bolder relative. There's no stock and no waste — all 52 cards are dealt to the seven tableau columns from the start, most of them face-up. The twist is movement: you can pick up any face-up card along with every card on top of it, regardless of whether they form a sequence, and drop the group onto a card one rank higher in the opposite colour. That freedom makes Yukon a rich, mostly skill-based puzzle. Free, 24/7, with undo and hints.
How to play Yukon solitaire
Seven columns are dealt much like Klondike, but each column past the first gets extra face-up cards, so the whole deck is on the table. You build the four foundations up by suit from Ace to King as usual. In the tableau you build down in alternating colours — but the key rule is that you may move any face-up card together with the pile sitting on it, even if that pile is a jumble. Uncover and flip face-down cards, and use empty columns (which any King group can fill) as staging space.
Yukon strategy & tips
Because you can drag messy stacks around, Yukon is about excavation: plan how to dig out the face-down cards without burying the cards you'll need next. Expose long face-down sections early, keep an eye on which cards you must free to release each Ace, and don't send cards to the foundation too eagerly — a mid-rank card left in play is often the bridge that unlocks a column. Yukon rewards looking several moves ahead more than luck.
