Yukon, deal #22

Deal #22 is a middling deal for this series. Our solver won it in a line of 51 moves, so it can certainly be won.

Notes on this deal

• One Ace is buried four or more cards deep: column 6 holds it under 6 cards. Dig there early.
• This deal punishes autopilot. A test play of the obvious moves gets just 6 of 52 cards home before it is stuck.
• 9 useful moves are open from the start. Prefer the ones that turn over a card or free an Ace.
• At one point the solver moves a run of 15 cards in one go.

Yukon in a nutshell

There is no stock. Build the foundations by suit and the columns down in alternating colours; any face-up card moves with everything on top of it. Only Kings go into empty columns.
