How To Play FreeCell

The goal in FreeCell is to get all the cards onto the foundations. Each foundation has one suit and must begin with an ace and end with a king. A card can be moved onto the foundation by dragging it, or just double-click it to make it go there by itself.

On the tableau, you can move cards from one column to another. Columns must be built in descending order and must alternate between red and black cards.

In the upper left corner are four free cells, where you can temporarily store cards. Moving a sequential stack of cards is the same as moving them individually to free cells and then back to the board. Therefore, you can only move a sequential stack of cards if you have enough free cells. When you have an empty column, you can move any card there, or any stack of cards if you have enough free cells.

Layout

FreeCell Solitaire is played with one deck of cards laid out in eight columns on the tableau. All the cards are face-up so you can see the value and suit.

There are seven cards in each of the first four columns and six cards in each of the remaining four columns.

In addition to the tableau columns, there are four foundation stacks and four free cells above the tableau.

Strategy

Here are some key strategies and tips to enhance your FreeCell gameplay:

  1. Free Cells: Use the four free cells strategically. These cells act as temporary storage spaces for individual cards during the game. Use them to your advantage by creating new opportunities for moving cards around.
  2. Ascending Order: Arrange cards in descending order within the tableau columns. You can move a card from one column to another if it is one rank lower and of a different color. For example, a red 7 can be placed on a black 8.
  3. Foundation Stacks: Build the foundation stacks by suit, starting with the Aces. Once an Ace is placed in a foundation stack, you can continue building on it with cards of the same suit, in ascending order.
