The Russian Solitaire board4 foundations, 7 tableaus. Fanned piles are shown with a trail of cards.
FoundationTableau

Goal: build all four foundations up from Ace to King, each in a single suit.

  • Tableau columns build down in the same suit.
  • Any face-up card can be picked up together with everything on top of it, regardless of order — only the bottom card of the group needs to fit the target.
  • Uncovering a face-down card flips it; an empty column takes a King (or a group headed by one).
  • Your score is the number of cards on the foundations, 52 for a win.
