Aunt Mary Solitaire

This engaging solitaire variant closely resembles Yukon Solitaire but introduces subtle differences that may influence your strategic approach. At the beginning of the game, six tableau piles are dealt, with the number of face-up cards decreasing from six in the first pile to a single face-up card in the last. The remaining cards form the stock pile. The primary objective is to transfer all cards onto four foundation piles, each built ascending from Ace to King within the same suit. The tableau is constructed downward by alternating colors, allowing you to move sequences of cards as long as they follow this rule. When a tableau pile becomes empty, only a King can be moved into that space, adding an element of tactical planning. You can also draw one card from the stock and place it onto the tableau if it fits the descending, alternating-color rule. Additionally, cards can be moved to the foundation only if they follow the suit and rank sequence. A crucial difference from classic Yukon is that once the stock cards are exhausted, no redeals are permitted—making careful management of the stock essential. With thoughtful analysis and a touch of luck, players can work towards uncovering all cards and stacking them onto the foundation piles. The more cards successfully moved into foundations, the higher your score, highlighting the importance of strategic moves and efficient use of your remaining stock.
