Sit down: Frontier Stack

House rules

Frontier Stack

Seven trails of cards, no stock, and nothing to draw. Lift any face-up card and everything resting on it, set it down on the next card up, and turn over every hidden card on the way to four full suits. The daily deal builds down in alternating colours; the weekly deal is the hard trail, building down on the same suit. Every ranked deal can be cleared.

Maker’s note

Yukon patience has no stock to lean on: every card is dealt, and the only question is the order you free them in. We dealt our own: our own card faces, a felt table under a lamp, and one deal a day that every player gets in the same order. Each daily and weekly deal is checked before it reaches you, so a clean clear always exists. Free play lets you pick the rule before the first move. Every move you make is written down as a move, not a mouse position, so a win can be checked card by card; points for cards home and cards turned, plus a bonus for speed, decide the board, and taking a move back costs you.
