Game Details

Russian Solitaire is played with a deck of 52 standard playing cards. The object of the game is to move all cards to the 4 foundations at the top building up in suit. There are 7 tableau piles in this game. At the start of the game, 1 card is dealt face down on the second tableau pile from the left, 2 cards on the third, 3 cards on the fourth, and so on. 1 card is dealt face up on the first tableau pile, while each of the other tableau pile receives 5 cards facing up. Only K can be moved to an empty tableau pile, and building is down by suit. Group of cards can be moved together regardless of sequence long as the move itself is building down a suit. For example, a 9 of spade followed by a 4 of club can be moved together as a group to a 10 of spade.
