Yukon is a type of patience or solitaire card game using a single deck of playing cards like Klondike, but there is no deck or stock, and manipulation of the tableau works differently.[1]

Yukon has the following adjustments to the game-play of standard Klondike solitaire:
Russian Solitaire is a solitaire card game that is very similar in layout and play to Yukon. Its difference from Yukon is that building is by suit.[2][3] The game should not be confused with Nidgi Novgorod, first recorded in the 1903 American Hoyle and also sometimes called Russian Solitaire, which is a simple, one-pack, non-builder,[4] nor with Russian Patience, first described in 1876, which is a two-pack, open packer similar to Capricieuse.[5]
Other Yukon variants remove the usual restriction that only Kings be placed in empty tableau spaces. Also closely related to Yukon are Alaska and Australian Patience.
