How to Play FreeCell: A Step-by-Step Guide
FreeCell is a popular solitaire card game that is easy to learn and fun to play. It can be played by both experienced and novice players alike. The goal of the game is to move all of the cards from the tableau to the foundations. This can be done by building sequences in alternating colors and suit order. With a few simple steps, you can learn how to play FreeCell and start enjoying this classic card game.
Getting Started
The first step in playing FreeCell is to set up the tableau. This consists of eight columns of cards, with each column containing seven cards. The first four columns contain seven cards face up, while the remaining four columns contain six cards face down and one card face up. The remaining cards form the stock pile, which should be placed face down on the left side of the tableau.
Making Moves
Once the tableau is set up, you can begin making moves. You can move any single card or a sequence of cards from one column to another as long as they are in alternating colors and in suit order (Ace-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-Jack-Queen-King). You can also move any single card or sequence of cards onto one of the four foundation piles if it follows suit order (Ace-2-3 etc.). If you get stuck, you can use any empty column as a temporary holding space for any single card or sequence of cards.
Winning the Game
The goal of FreeCell is to move all of the cards from the tableau onto the foundations piles. Once all 52 cards have been moved onto their respective foundations piles, you win. If you get stuck at any point during your game, there are several ways to undo your moves and start again. With practice, you’ll soon be able to master this classic solitaire game.
