Introduction to Freecell

Classic FreeCell is played with one 52-card deck of standard playing cards. It's a modification of the solitaire game called Baker's Game. The only real difference is that in FreeCell, they are built by alternate (red and black) colors, while in Baker's Game cards are built by suit.

Enjoy the warmth of summer with Solitaire Summer! Bask in the glory of our fantastic collection of solitaire puzzles and card games, including klondike, freecell, spider solitaire, and many more! FreeCell Solitaire is perfect for beginners! A different approach to the game, but still very easy to follow. All of the cards are flipped at the start and there is extra space to move the cards that are in your way.

Almost all FreeCell games are winnable. A rare example of a deal that is considered to be unsolvable is deal number 11982 from Windows 95's version of FreeCell. You can play this deal from the top menu (choose 'Numbered Deals').

Both ranks and suits of cards are important in FreeCell. From low to high, card ranks run in order from Ace, to Two, to Three, and so on up to Ten, Jack, Queen, and finally King.

History

Freecell Solitaire 247

Paul Alfille is credited with the invention of FreeCell. Working at the University of Illinois, he programmed the first computerized version of the game in 1978. Originally, the game had several different variants. The most popular version played today is the Classic version.

Goal

The goal of FreeCell is to build up all 4 of the suits in the foundation, each in order from Ace to King.

How to Play Freecell

When the game starts, all 52 cards are dealt face-up into the 8 columns in the tableau. In the first 4 columns, piles of 7 cards are dealt, and in the remaining 4 columns, piles of 6 cards are dealt.

A card may be moved by the player back and forth between the tableau and the free cell area. Any single card may be moved to an empty free cell.

When moving a card from a free cell to the tableau, it can only be placed either into a vacant column or onto the lowermost card in a pile that is next-in-rank and of the opposite (red or black) color. For example, the Four of Spades might be moved from a free cell onto either the Five of Hearts or the Five of Diamonds at the bottom of a pile. Note that since the King possesses the highest rank, it cannot be moved from a free cell onto a pile.

A card may also be moved either from a free cell or the bottom of a pile to the foundation, providing that it is an Ace, which begins a suit build, or the next in rank for a suit, which extends a build. It's also possible to move a card from the foundation to a free cell or the tableau.

An ordered sequence consists of consecutive cards in a pile that are both in-rank and with alternating colors, with the lowest rank being at the bottom. For example, from the bottom up, the Two of Diamonds, the Three of Clubs, and the Four of Hearts constitutes a 3-card ordered sequence.

The player moves one card at a time. However, provided that a sufficient number of combined free cells and tableau columns are empty, an ordered sequence of more than 1 card may be moved all at once from one pile either onto another pile or into an empty column. This counts as only 1 move.

• FreeCell begins by dealing out all 52 cards into eight tableau piles. The first four piles will have seven cards,the last four only six cards.


• All the cards are face up, which makes FreeCell an open game. Open solitaire games are usually the most interesting andgive the most opportunity for skillful play and FreeCell is no exception.


• The object of FreeCell is to build 4 foundation piles up in suit from Aces to Kings.


• In addition to the foundations and tableau, there are four cells. Each cell is a storage place for one card. Anyavailable card can be moved to an empty cell, and cards in the cells can be moved either back to the tableau or to thefoundations.


• In the similar game called Baker's Game, the tableau piles are built down by suit. This makes for a challenging game.FreeCell allows building in the tableau down by alternate color, which makes for a better, more balanced game.

How to Move Groups of Cards in FreeCell

Moving groups of cards is not strictly allowed in FreeCell. However, in Pretty Good Solitaire I allow formoving groups of cards as a shortcut.

If you have all four cells empty, for example, it would be possible to move a group of five cards in sequence downby alternate color by moving the top 4 cards to the cells, then moving the 5th card, then moving the four cards backfrom the cells to reform the group.

Since this takes forever, Pretty Good Solitaire allow you to simply move all five cards together at once.In effect, the number of empty cells determines how many cards you can move as a group.

Important Tip: Try to keep the cells as empty as possible so that you can move more cards around in thetableau. Clearing a tableau pile also greatly increases the number of cards you can move as a group, since theempty pile can be used not only to store one card, but an entire group of cards.
