A few observations on Yukon

zudensternen

Been playing Yukon a lot lately and it's satisfying in a different way than Freecell. So few people play Yukon that you can easily get in the top 10. Any time you win a game in under 3 minutes, you're pretty much guaranteed a slot there. And since there seems to be a greater proportion of un-winnable deals compared to Freecell, you sometimes find yourself in the top 10 with a score of 1 or 2.

If the deal starts out with only one or two kings visible, it's going to be tough to win. Not sure I have ever won one where only two kings were showing by mid-game.

Most deals have a particular kind of pinch point: say there are four 7s visible; there might be only two 8s and only one 6. The 7s end up orphaned at the ends of rows.

Intermediate scores are uncommon. For most deals, you're either in the single digits or else you win with 52. There's almost always an endgame cascade.
