Play Russian Solitaire with the rules at hand

Keep the active rule in mind. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.

Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
