Yukon is Klondike's bolder cousin: every card is dealt to the tableau, there is no stock to draw from, and you can move a whole tower of cards at once — even when it is not in order. Solitaire Nest Yukon is free, needs no signup, and runs right in your browser on phone or laptop, online or off.
How to play Yukon Solitaire
All 52 cards start in seven tableau columns and the four foundations begin empty. Column one holds a single face-up card; each of the other columns hides a few face-down cards under five face-up ones. There is no stock and no waste, so every move happens on the tableau itself.
- Pick up any face-up card together with every card resting on top of it — the group does not need to be a tidy run. That is the move that makes Yukon special.
- Drop a group onto a tableau card that is one rank higher and the opposite color — a red six group lands on a black seven.
- Any group may move onto an empty column; its bottom card can be anything.
- Foundations build up by suit from Ace to King, one card at a time. Send all 52 there to win.
- When a move uncovers a face-down card, it flips face-up automatically.
- Double-tap a top card to send it straight to its foundation, and use Auto to finish once every card is face-up.
Yukon vs. Klondike
The rules look similar, but Yukon plays very differently. Because you can drag a messy pile of cards onto a valid base, buried cards become reachable far sooner. There is no waiting on the luck of a stock draw, so almost every position offers something to try. That freedom makes Yukon a great next step once Klondike feels easy.
Moving cards: drag or tap
On a computer, drag a card or a group onto a legal column. On a phone, tap a card to pick it up — legal columns are highlighted — then tap where you want it. Use Undo to explore lines and Hint when you are stuck. Tap Daily for the same shuffle everyone gets that day and build a streak. Your game saves automatically, so you can close the tab and return right where you left off.
Frequently asked questions
How is Yukon Solitaire different from Klondike?
In Yukon, every card is dealt straight to the tableau face-up, so there is no stock pile and no waste. You can also grab any face-up card along with everything stacked on top of it and drop that whole group on a valid column, even when the cards are not in order.
How do you play Yukon Solitaire?
Build the four foundations up by suit from Ace to King, and build the tableau columns down in alternating colors. The key trick is that you can move a buried face-up card, and its whole group, onto another column, so use that freedom to open up the cards you need.
Is Yukon Solitaire winnable?
Yes, a high share of deals can be won with careful play. Still, it is less forgiving than it looks. One rushed move can bury a card you needed, and there is no stock to bail you out, so think before you commit to a long transfer.
How do you win more games of Yukon Solitaire?
Uncover the face-down cards early, because every hidden card is a locked door. Plan the long group moves before you make them, and never strand a card you will need under the wrong pile. Working the columns down evenly usually beats emptying one column fast.
Is Yukon Solitaire free with no signup?
Yes, it is completely free with no download and no account. It runs right in your browser on desktop or phone, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Just open the tab and play, and your game saves on its own if you leave.
