FreeCell is a solitaire game that was made popular by Microsoft in the 1990s. One of its oldest ancestors is Eight Off. In the June 1968 edition of Scientific American Martin Gardner described in his 'Mathematical Games' column, a game by C. Baker that is similar to FreeCell, except that cards on the tableau are built by suit instead of by alternate colors.

'Oh no, not another version of Klondike !', I hear you cry; and yes, I tend to agree with you. There are far too many Klondike games available,most of them offering little more then the version Microsoft shipped with Windows 3.1. Solitaire City is different though. The inclusion of a timed scoringsystem adds a new dimension to the game. The quicker you complete the game, the higher your score; so make sure your mouse has been fed a fresh dose of steroids !Your highest scores are stored on your computers hard drive so you have a permanent record of your achievements. Have a Klondike tournament with your friends, trying tobeat each others scores. You'll be amazed at how addictive Klondike has suddenly become !

Anyway, if you've never played the Windows version of Klondike, had your head in the sand most of your life, or just had a deprived childhood, then here are therules to one of the World's most popular solitaire card games.

Card Layout

The game is played with a single pack of 52 playing cards. After thoroughly shuffling the deck, 28 cards are dealt face down to form the tableau which consistsof 7 columns of 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 overlapping cards from left to right respectively. The exposed card at the end of each tableau column is turned face up. Theremaining cards are placed face down to form the stock. The game then begins.

Objective

The object of the game is to build the four foundations up in ascending suit sequence from Ace to King. e.g.A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,Kwith cards of identical suit.

Klondike Rules

As each Ace becomes available it may be transferred to a row above the tableau to start one of the four foundations. The foundations are built up in ascendingsuit sequence to the King. The exposed card of a tableau column may be transferred to a foundation of the same suit if it follows the ascending sequence or tothe exposed card of another column if it forms a descending sequence of alternating colours, e.g.6 on7 orQ onK.A complete packed column of face up cards may also be transferred to the exposed card of another tableau column if the join follows the same descending sequenceof alternating colours. If the movement of a tableau card exposes a face down card, then it is turned face up. When a tableau column is completely cleared out,the space may only be filled by a King or a packed column headed by a King. When no more moves are available from the tableau, the top three cards from the stockare dealt face up, without upsetting their order, to a single waste pile. The top exposed card of the waste pile is always available for play to the foundationsor tableau. When the stock has been exhausted, the waste pile is picked up and turned over to form a new stock and the game continues. This procedure is continueduntil the game eventually blocks or is won. A variation of the game allows a single card to be dealt to the waste pile instead of three. There is usually a limitto the number of times the waste pile can be re-used to prevent the game coming out too often.

If all this sounds a bit complicated, then don't panic ! Solitaire City features a unique hands-on training system that can teach you the rulesof an unfamiliar game as you play. Whenever you start a new game for the first time you will be asked whether you would like a training session;or you may select Training from the Play menu at any time.

FreeCell Rules

The different piles

There are three different types of piles in FreeCell Solitaire. They are:

• The Free Cells: The four piles in the upper left corner.
• The Foundations: The four piles in the upper right corner.
• The Tableau: The eight piles that make up the main table.

The setup

The Tableau piles are numbered from 1 to 8, piles 1-4 start with 7 cards each, piles 5-8 with 6 cards each. The Foundations and Free Cells are empty.

The objective

To win FreeCell, you must get all the cards onto the Foundations. The Foundations are ordered by suit and rank, each Foundation has one suit and you must put the cards onto them in the order Ace 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Jack Queen King. To do that you can use the moves described below:

Allowed moves

Where Is My Old Freecell Game

• Move one or more cards from one Tableau pile to another. You can move the top card of a pile on the Tableau onto another Tableau pile, if that pile's top card is one higher than the moved card and in a different color. For example, you could move a red 6 onto a black 7. If the top cards on a Tableau pile are ordered, e.g. you have red 6, black 5, red 4 as the top cards, then you can click the red 6 and move all of them together onto another Tableau pile that has a black 7 as its top card. HOWEVER, there is a limitation to how many ordered cards you can move together. The number of cards you can move together is basically the number of empty free cells and empty tableaus + 1. So, if you have 2 free cells empty you can move 3 cards together. If you have all 4 free cells empty you can move 5 cards. If you have 3 free cells and 4 empty tableaus you can move 8 cards together. Moving many cards together is basically just a convenience the game provides. In the strictest sense you should always move one at a time, but if you have 4 ordered cards and 3 free cells then you could trivially move the top 3 ordered cards to the free cells, then move the fourth card and then move the 3 cards from the free cells back onto the fourth card. So, for convenience the game allows you to move n+1 cards together, where n is the number of free cells.
  If you have an empty Tableau pile then you can move any card there.
• Move a single card onto a Free Cell. You can always move the top card of any Tableau Pile, Free Cell or Foundation onto a Free Cell if it's empty. Free Cell's can only hold a single card at a time.
• Move a card from a Free Cell. You can move a card from a Free Cell onto a Foundation if it's in the same suit and one higher than the Foundation's top card. Or you can move a card from a Free Cell onto a Tableau pile if the card is one lower and in a different color than the Tableau pile's top card. E.g. you could move a red 5 from a Free Cell onto a Tableau pile where the current top card was a black 6.
• You can move a Tableau card onto the Foundations. You can either drag the cards onto the Foundation, or just double click it and then it will go there by itself. When the Free Cells are empty and all cards on the Tableau are arranged in 4 piles and each of the piles has been ordered in descending order with alternating red/black cards then the Tableau will clear itself, since at that point you are guaranteed to win the game.
• You can Undo as many times as you like. The game offers unlimited undos. Each Undo counts as a new move though, so if you're trying to win the game in as few moves as possible you should be careful about how many undos you use.

The game counts the moves you make, and measures the time it takes to finish the game, so you can compete against your previous best games if you want. Currently this data is not stored anywhere, in the future I might add some kind of high scores.

About FreeCell

Hi. My name is Einar Egilsson and I made this online verson of FreeCell. FreeCell is the second solitaire game I create, before that I created Klondike (or 'classic' solitaire) and I've also made a few card games like Hearts, Spades and Whist.

If you have any questions, comments or requests for other solitaire games you can send them to admin@cardgames.io or tweet at me @cardgames_io. If you have any errors or problems when playing the game please include which browser you're using when you email me, it makes figuring out the problem a lot easier :)

Many thanks go to Nicu Buculei, who created the excellent playing card images that I use for the game.
