Devil's Yukon

Top  Previous  Next

2 Decks.  Medium (60%).  Mostly Skill.

 

Object

To move all the cards to the foundations.

 

Layout

8 foundation piles (across top) - build left 4 piles up in color from Ace to King (2 leftmost with red X's start with red Aces, next 2 in green with black Aces), drop entire 13 card sequences down by alternate color from the tableau on the right 4 piles (2 starting with red X's with red Kings, 2 rightmost in green with black Kings).

 

10 tableau piles (below foundations) - build down by alternate color.  Move groups of cards regardless of any sequence.  Fill spaces with Kings or groups of cards headed by a King.   At the start of the game 1 card is dealt to the first pile, 2 cards to the 2nd pile, and so on.  The top card is face up.  Then 4 additional face up cards are dealt to the first pile and 5 additional cards dealt to each of the 2nd through 10th piles.

 

 

Notes

The first 4 foundations are built up card by card as is normal, but the right 4 foundations are built in the tableau.  When an entire 13 card sequence from King to Ace is built, it can be dropped on the right 4 foundations.

 

There is no AutoPlay in this game, so all cards must be moved by dragging or right-clicking on the card.

 

Tips

Keep in mind at all times that you are not only trying to build on the left 4 foundations up in color, but also you must build 4 complete 13-card sequences down by alternate color, much like they are built in Spider.  Whether to move a card to the 4 left foundations or to keep it in the tableau for building one of the sequences is a choice you are faced with often.
