Russian Solitaire

Play Russian Solitaire online: the no-stock Klondike variant with seven columns fully dealt. Build down by suit — a 6 of hearts only on a 7 of hearts — lift any face-up block, and fill four foundations from Ace to King. Undo and hints, free in your browser, no download.

Play Russian Solitaire

One deck, 52 cards, no stock and no waste — every card is dealt. Seven columns: column 1 holds one face-up card, columns 2 to 7 hold 1/2/3/4/5/6 face-down cards under five face-up cards each (sizes 1/6/7/8/9/10/11; 21 face-down and 31 face-up). Foundations build up by suit from any Ace. Columns build down by suit: a 6 of hearts goes on a 7 of hearts and on nothing else — colour counts for nothing here, which is what separates Russian Solitaire from Yukon. Any face-up card may be lifted together with everything on top of it, even when the lifted block is not in sequence, and only a King may go on an empty column. A move that uncovers a face-down card turns it face up. Tap or click a card to place it on its best legal target, or drag it onto a specific column or foundation. Undo walks your moves back one at a time and Hint highlights a legal move. A deal with nothing placeable shows a No moves left bar; undo or deal a new board.

Objective: Send all 52 cards home to the four foundations, each built up by suit from Ace to King. Every card is dealt into seven columns with no stock, the columns build down by suit, and any face-up card may be lifted with everything on top of it. Win when all four foundations hold 13 cards. Controls: Tap or click a card to place it on its best legal target, or drag it onto a specific column. Only face-up cards are movable, and any face-up card may lift the whole stack above it. Buttons: Undo, Hint, Rules, New. Add ?deal=12345 to the page URL to play and share a fixed deal; the deal number is shown under the title. Works with mouse and touch.

Source and license

Rules module written by Playnesta (MIT) on top of the unmodified engine from the MIT-licensed solitaire-collection by muzsor (commit 13ce580c). That pin ships klondike, spider, freecell, pyramid and tripeaks but no Russian Solitaire, so the six shared core files (engine, renderer, card model, RNG, sound, stylesheet) ship byte-identical to the pinned commit and js/games/russian.js is Playnesta-original, following the same Game contract as the upstream klondike module. The page shell, responsive stage fit, analytics bridge and touch shim are Playnesta-original. Cards are DOM elements and sounds are WebAudio synthesis, so no bitmap, audio or font asset is shipped. https://github.com/muzsor/solitaire-collection · MIT

🧪 Play data measured on this site: 3,000 deals

Every play-data number on this guide was measured on this site, not quoted: a deliberately weak greedy baseline played 3,000 random deals against the rules module this site ships, in headless Node.
