Russian Solitaire: instructions and practice
Work at your own pace. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Keep the active rule in mind. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Put the rules into context
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Check this before moving on
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
