Play Yakutat Bay Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

A Yukon and Moving Left mashup: haul any face-up card, in order or not, across seven wide-open piles, no stock to hide behind, just a King to unlock the gaps.

Yakutat Bay Solitaire is a hybrid of Yukon and Moving Left. This is my own creation, named after the location in Alaska where cruise ships travel to see icebergs calve off the Hubbard Glacier.

The deal is classic Yukon: fifty-two cards fill seven mostly face-up piles, with no stock. Move any face-up card, with everything on top of it, to another pile, in order or not. Only a King unlocks an empty column. Build all four foundations up to win.

If you enjoy Yakutat Bay Solitaire, try Yukon Solitaire, the game it's built on, or the classic Spider Solitaire.

How to play Yakutat Bay Solitaire

Layout:

4 foundation piles: Build up from Ace to King in the same suit.

7 tableau piles: Build down by alternating color; move any face-up card with everything on top of it, in any order. Only a King, or a King-led stack, may fill an empty column. Piles grow from 1 card up to 11, mostly dealt face-up.

Foundation:

There are four foundation piles.

Any Ace may be moved to an empty foundation pile to start it.

A card can be added to a foundation pile only if it's one rank higher and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a 4 of spades is a 5 of spades.

The top card of each foundation can be moved back into play if another pile will accept it.

Tableau:

Seven tableau piles are dealt at the start, with each pile's lower cards face-down and the top cards face-up.

A card can be added to a tableau pile only if it's one rank lower and the opposite color of the pile's current top card, so the only cards that fit on the J of hearts are the 10 of spades and 10 of clubs.

Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card are free to be played onto the foundation or any other tableau pile.

Only a King, or a King-led stack, may fill an empty tableau column.

Any face-up card, along with everything stacked on top of it, can move to another tableau column where it fits.
