Yukon One Suit Solitaire
How to play Yukon One Suit
Yukon One Suit is a Yukon solitaire played with four packs of the thirteen spades instead of a full deck, so any card can be built on any card one rank higher.
Yukon dealt from four packs of the thirteen spades, where any card builds on any card one rank higher.
The goal of Yukon One Suit
Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations, building each one up from the Ace to the King.
How to set up Yukon One Suit
Yukon One Suit is played with four packs of the thirteen spades, 52 cards with four of every rank. They are dealt as in Yukon into seven tableau piles: a single face-up card in the first, and one to six face-down cards under five face-up cards in each of the others. There is no stock.
Yukon One Suit rules
Every card is a spade, so any card builds on any card one rank higher. Any face-up card can move onto a pile whose top card it builds on, and every card lying on it moves with it, whether or not those cards are in order.
Only a King can fill an empty pile, together with any cards lying on it. When a move leaves a face-down card on top of its pile, that card is turned face up.
All four foundations are spades, and each one builds up from the Ace to the King. A card goes to the first foundation that takes it and never comes back into play.
Click a card to play it: a top card goes to its foundation if it fits, otherwise the card and everything on it go onto the first pile it builds on, and a King into the first empty pile. Drag a card to choose where it goes yourself. With Autoplay off in Settings, only a drag moves a card.
How to win at Yukon One Suit
You win when all 52 cards are on the foundations. Once no card is face down and every pile is in descending order, Auto complete, on by default in Settings, moves the remaining cards up for you. The game is stuck when no card can move.
Yukon One Suit strategy tips
With four of every rank and no suit to match, each card below a King has four cards it can go on. Look at every place a card could go before you choose one.
Uncover the face-down cards first. They are the only cards you cannot see, and the longest pile hides six of them.
A Two can hold only an Ace in the piles, and every Ace has a foundation waiting for it. Send Aces and Twos home as soon as they are free, since they do nothing for you on the table.
When the card you need is buried, look for another copy. There are four of every rank, and one lying nearer the top of its pile may do the same job.
Yukon One Suit questions and answers
How do you play Yukon One Suit solitaire?
Deal four packs of the thirteen spades into seven piles as in Yukon: a single card in the first, and one to six face-down cards under five face-up cards in each of the others. Build the piles down one rank at a time, moving any face-up card with every card lying on it, and fill an empty pile only with a King. You win when all 52 cards are on the four foundations, built up from Ace to King.
What is the difference between Yukon One Suit and Yukon?
Yukon One Suit deals four packs of the thirteen spades instead of one full deck, so there are no colours to alternate and a card builds on any card one rank higher. The deal, the moves and the rule that only a King fills an empty pile are Yukon's.
Can every Yukon One Suit deal be won?
All 100 shuffled Yukon One Suit deals the game's solver was tested on were proved winnable, and its list of 500 proved deals took only 501 shuffles to build. That does not prove every deal can be won, and a deal can still be lost by the moves you choose. Switch on Winnable in the menu beside New deal and each new board comes from that list. The Hint button asks the same solver for a winning line before it suggests a move.
Is there a daily Yukon One Suit game?
Yes. Yukon One Suit has a daily board, the same deal for everyone that day, dealt the way a Winnable board is. You need to be logged in to play it.
