Australian Patience Solitaire
Australian Patience is a Yukon variant that deals all face-down cards before revealing the top card in each column. Like standard Yukon, there is no stock pile — all 52 cards are in the tableau from the start. The face-down cards create more hidden information than standard Yukon, making early game decisions more consequential and increasing the role of careful uncovering strategy.
Australian Patience Tips
Prioritize uncovering face-down cards over building long tableau sequences. Since all cards start on the tableau, every column you clear gives you more information and flexibility. Moving stacks that expose face-down cards should take priority over moves that merely rearrange visible cards.

How is Australian Patience different from Yukon?
Australian Patience uses the same core rules as Yukon — move any face-up card with its stack regardless of sequence. The main difference is in the deal: more cards start face-down, creating greater uncertainty in the early game. This makes uncovering hidden cards even more critical.
