Rules provide a challenge.

Win about 1 in 3 games (35%).

5 to 10 minutes per game.

Winning involves skill and luck equally.

Move all cards to the four foundations.

There are four foundations.
An Ace may move to an empty foundation.
The foundations build up by the same suit.
For example the 8♠ may move onto the 7♠ and the 8♦ may move onto the 7♦. Starting with the 8♦ the following sequence can build on top 9♦ 10♦ J♦ Q♦.
Once on the foundation, the top card can continue to move as needed to build sequences on the tableau.

There are seven tableaus.
A King may move to an empty tableau. No other cards may move to an empty tableau.
The tableaus build down by alternating colors.
For example the J♠ may move onto the Q♦ and the J♥ may move onto the Q♣. Starting with the J♥ the following sequence can build on top 10♠ 9♦ 8♣.
Any card or stack of cards may move together as a group. Any stack of cards may move together, regardless of their build (no restriction on rank, suit or color).

Yukon has about a 1 in 3 chance of winning (35%). Improve your chances with these 7 tips:

Expose the face-down cards as soon as possible. When all cards are face up, the game is almost always winnable.
Do not empty tableau piles unless there is a King available to immediately fill it.
Always move available Aces to the foundation.
It can be beneficial to keep a Two on the tableau to allow moving a covered Ace.
Make the moves that are inevitable. Lets say you have a 5♦ on a 6♠. If you can, move the 5♥ onto the 6♣. As there is nowhere else to place the 5♥ there is no sense delaying the move.
Plan ahead - identify a card that is beneficial to move (for example to expose a face-down card) and look for a card to move to.
Starting with the top exposed cards, look for cards that can move onto it. Prefer the moves the expose the face-down cards. Lets say the J♠ is one of the top cards, if you have both 10♥ and 10♦ available, choose the one that provides the most benefit. If the 10♥ is already on top of the J♣ it's obvious you should move the 10♦.
