How to Play Quadruple Yukon Solitaire

A four-deck version of Yukon with 16 tableau piles and no stock, letting you freely rearrange any face-up cards. This expansive variant rewards careful planning.

Setup

1. Deal a custom pattern across 16 tableau piles: pile 1 has a single face-up card, and each pile after that adds one more face-down card while keeping 5 or 6 cards face up on top, ending with pile 16 holding 15 face-down cards under 5 face-up ones.
2. All 208 cards are dealt to the tableau; there is no stock or waste.

How to play

• Build foundations upward in suit from Ace through King.
• Build tableau piles downward in alternating colors (red on black, black on red).
• Any group of face-up cards can be moved together, even if they don't form a proper sequence—only the card going to the bottom of the group needs to fit the destination.
• When you uncover a face-down card by moving cards away, it automatically turns face up.
• Only Kings or Kings at the bottom of a group fill empty tableau piles.
• Cards automatically move to the foundations once no other card could be built on them (you can change this behavior in Settings).

How to win

Objective: Move all 208 cards to the 16 foundation piles.

You win when all cards are on the foundations. The flexible movement rules give you more options than traditional games.

Tips

• Use the freedom to move non-sequence groups to expose face-down cards faster.
• Build long sequences in one pile to free up others.
• Sometimes moving cards out of order to an empty space unblocks better plays.
