Play Triple Yukon Solitaire — Three Packs, Everything Visible

Triple Yukon is Yukon at three times the scale: 156 cards across thirteen columns, twelve foundations to fill, and the deepest column on the board holding eighteen cards. Every rule is Yukon's. Any face-up card may be lifted and carried with everything piled on top of it, packed or not; the tableau builds down in alternating colours; only a King may enter an empty column; and there is no stock at all, so the entire pack is in play from the first click.

How Do You Play Triple Yukon?

Goal: build all twelve foundations from Ace to King by suit.

Setup

• Decks: three standard decks, 156 cards. No stock and no redeal.
• Tableau: thirteen columns holding 6, 7, 8 and so on up to 18 cards. Column j hides exactly j cards beneath six face-up ones — 78 hidden in all.
• Foundations: twelve, empty — three for each suit.

Rules

• Any face-up card may be moved, carrying every card on top of it, packed or not.
• Build tableau columns down in alternating colours: a red 7 goes on a black 8.
• Only a King, with its tail, may enter an empty column.
• A hidden card turns up the moment play exposes it.
• Foundations build up by suit from the Ace and are one-way.
• You win when all 156 cards are on the foundations.

Triple Yukon Strategy

Three copies of every card changes the arithmetic of risk more than it changes the rules. Play more freely than you would in Yukon — but plan for a much longer game.

• Duplicates make mistakes cheaper. With three of every card, the black 8 you buried is unlikely to have been the only one. That means you can afford moves a one-deck Yukon player would refuse, and hoarding a card "just in case" is rarely worth the column space.
• Dig the shallow left first. Column one holds six cards and column thirteen holds eighteen. The left of the board is where empty columns realistically come from, and an empty column is still the strongest thing you can own.
• Line up a King before you clear. Only a King and its tail may take a space. With twelve Kings in the pack this is easier than in Yukon — but check which one is reachable before you spend twenty moves emptying a column.
• Expose relentlessly. Seventy-eight cards start face down, exactly half the pack. Every move that turns one over is worth more than a move that only tidies.
• Expect a long game and pace it. Twelve suit runs from a fully visible board is a marathon. Decide early which two or three suits you are actually going to finish first, and keep their low cards reachable.

Triple Yukon in the Yukon Family

Triple Yukon is registered in the PySol Fan Club collection as a Yukon variant played with three packs across thirteen rows. Its class does two things and nothing else: widen the board to thirteen columns, and deal a growing hidden base under six face-up cards per column. Every rule about building, moving, filling spaces and banking is inherited from Yukon unchanged.

Three-deck solitaires are uncommon, and they usually earn their length by changing the odds rather than the rules. That is exactly what happens here. In one-deck Yukon a buried card can be fatal because there is only one of it; with three copies in play the same mistake is usually recoverable, so the game rewards momentum where Yukon rewards caution.

It is also the deepest board in this catalogue — eighteen cards in a single column — which is why its layout reserves more vertical space than any other game here, and why the shared engine now builds any pack count rather than choosing between one deck and two.

For the one-deck original, play Yukon; for two decks across ten columns, Double Yukon. For the same board with a suit build, play Russian Solitaire; for the version where any card fills a space, Ukrainian Solitaire.

One honest note on difficulty. No published win rate for Triple Yukon that we can find carries a method or a sample size, so this page quotes none. Structurally the duplicates help and the sheer size does not: expect a game measured in hundreds of moves rather than dozens.
