Russian Solitaire

The aim of Russian Solitaire is to build all four suits up from Ace to King using a standard 52-card deck.

TABLEAU - At the begining player is dealt all 52 cards into seven piles which contain 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 cards from left to right. This set of piles is known as the tableau. The top card of first pile in tableau is turned face up, and remaining 6 piles have 5 cards face-up each.

FOUNDATION - Four empty foundation piles.

  • On the tableau, cards are played in descending order, same suit.
  • Groups of cards can be moved; the cards below the one to be moved do not need to be in any order, except that the starting and target cards must be built in sequence and in same suit. When a card or a group of cards is moved from one pile of the tableau to another, face-down top card from the first pile is turned face up.
  • An empty pile in tableau can only be filled with a King and can then be played in descending order and same suit.
  • Foundation piles can contain cards starting from Ace so as Aces become available, it can be placed in one of the foundation piles. Cards of the same suit can then be played on each Ace in ascending order, from low (2) to high (King).
  • Top card from the foundation is not allowed to be moved to any of the tableau piles.

The game is won once all cards are moved onto the foundation piles.

  • Drag and drop cards between piles.
  • Double click top card in any of the tableau piles to automatically move to the foundation.
