How to play Yukon solitaire

Yukon looks like Klondike but has no stock: every card is dealt at the start, and you can move any face-up card together with all the cards on top of it, in order or not.

Play Yukon

Setting up

One deck in seven columns. The first column is a single face-up card. Columns two to seven have one to six face-down cards with five face-up cards on top of them. Four foundations start empty.

How to play

A card can go on a card one rank higher of the opposite colour, as in Klondike. The difference is what you can pick up: any face-up card, together with everything on top of it, even if those cards aren't in sequence.

An empty column takes only a king (with whatever is on top of it).

Foundations are built up in suit from ace to king. Uncovered face-down cards turn face up.

Winning

Move all 52 cards to the foundations.

Tips

Because you can move jumbled groups, the real targets are the face-down cards: plan moves that dig into the longest hidden piles. Keep kings in mind; an empty column is useless without one.

Questions

How is Yukon different from Klondike?

No stock and no waste, more cards dealt face up, and the freedom to move any face-up card with what's on it.
