Double Russian Solitaire (DRS) is one of the best-known variations of solitaire, an addictive card game which originated with Klondike. Like its parent game, DRS is highly engaging and can keep people playing until either they win or run out of moves – an engaging challenge which provides a great workout for the brain! Although not easy to win at, Double Russian Solitaire provides hours of entertainment while testing both skill and concentration to reach its simple objective.

This game resembles Klondike but without a stock pile; instead cards are dealt directly onto the tableau in seven piles of seven cards each. Goal of this game is to move all cards onto a foundation column in ascending suit sequence starting from Ace and ending at King. There are various rules which make this more challenging than Klondike but still playable. Some of these rules include only face-up cards being allowed to be moved and only being replaced in their pile by one with either the same suit or different rank; an empty pile in the tableau can only be filled up again by adding one King card; fans of cards that all belong to one suit can only ever be moved once during a game session.

Resist the urge to reveal any face down cards in the tableau, even if this might lead to sending some to foundations more quickly at earlier stages of play. Also avoid making mistakes like exposing groups containing King cards so they can be sent directly into foundations for movement.

Russian solitaire is an engaging game of strategy and luck. While similar to Yukon solitaire, which can be very challenging on its own, Russian requires more skill due to the reduced available moves and no requirement that colors alternate in the tableau – both characteristics which contribute more towards making Russian more of a strategy than luck game than other variants such as Alaska or Australian Patience which only allow suits building down together but offer the added flexibility of moving entire groups rather than just individual cards at the top in a row.

As has already been noted, one of the greatest challenges of this game is running out of moves quickly – it is therefore recommended only if you have enough time and patience for it. Even then, amateur players often only have 5-7% chances of winning while professional ones might have 10-20%.
