Yukon looks like Klondike at a glance, but SolitaireHot’s Yukon rules change how you dig for buried cards. Every tableau card starts face up, and you can move partial stacks even when they are not a perfect alternating sequence. This guide compares the two so you pick the right board for practice or a daily seed.
What stays the same
Both games build Ace-to-King foundations by suit and use seven tableau columns. Hint, Undo, and daily challenges work the same way on SolitaireHot. If you already know Klondike Turn 1, Yukon’s goal will feel familiar.
What Yukon changes
In Yukon, all tableau cards are face up from the start, and you may move any face-up card with the cards on top of it — even if the stack is messy. That flexibility lets you uncover a buried Ace without waiting for a perfect build. Klondike is stricter: only descending alternate-color runs move together, and face-down cards stay hidden until the card above is moved.
Quick decision guide
- Choose Klondike Turn 1 when you want classic stock-and-waste rhythm.
- Choose Yukon when you prefer full information and bigger stack moves.
- Use Undo freely in Yukon to test whether a messy move opens a foundation.
- Track each variant separately in stats — Yukon wins do not count as Klondike.
