FreeCell is a solitaire card game. It is thought of as a game of skill and strategy, not luck. Although implementations vary, all hands in common software versions can be beaten. This is in contrast to Klondike and other solitaire games where many hands are unwinnable even if the player's moves are flawless.
The rules of FreeCell are as follows:
• Shuffle, then deal the 52 cards face up in 8 columns with each card visible but only the end card of each column fully exposed. Four columns will have 7 cards, the others only 6.
• Apart from the columns, there are four single card free cells and four suit piles (foundations). The objective is to get all the cards into the foundations.
• Single exposed cards may be moved:
• Column to column, placing the card in an empty column or on a card of the next rank and different colour suit (e.g. placing a red 3 on a black 4). Aces are low.
• Column to free cell, placing an exposed card in an empty cell.
• Free cell to column, as column to column.
• Column to suit home pile. Next card in order, starting with the Ace, ending with the King. Each suit is completely independent.
• Free cell to suit home pile. As column to suit home pile.
There are many free versions of FreeCell which can be played online.
