Russian Solitaire: learn through an example
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. 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. Before making a move, check the cards in view. 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.
Practice with a purpose
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
