How to Play Freecell Solitaire:
- Freecell Solitaire is a card game played with a standard deck of 52 cards.
- At the beginning of each game all 52 cards are dealt face up in overlapping style to the tableau in 8 stacks. There are also 8 empty spaces at the top, 4 on the left and 4 more at the right. Notice that the 4 spaces on the right have the letter 'A' on them. In this case, the 'A' stands for Ace. These are the foundation piles, one for each suit. It is here that you will attempt to build the four suits in ascending order, beginning from Ace up to King. The other 4 spaces on the top left are called 'freecells', hence the name Freecell Solitaire.
- In order to move the cards in this particular version of Freecell Solitaire you will simply drag each card with your mouse.
- Only one card may be moved at a time.
- The only cards that are eligible to be moved are any card in one of the 4 freecell spaces, or the top card of any stack.
- Each freecell can only hold one card at a time.
- You may move the top card of any stack to an unoccupied freecell.
- You may also move the top card of one stack to another stack if the card you are moving is one rank lower and has an alternate color. Examples: You may move a black 3 on top of a red 4, or you may move a red 9 on top of a black 10, and so forth.
- Also any top card of a stack, or any card in a freecell space, may be moved to an empty stack.
- Your goal is to build the four foundation piles from Ace to King for each suit as fast as you can.
- You will score 500 points for each card you can move to a foundation pile. You may think that the highest score you could achieve would be 26,000 points (52 x 500). However, there is one last surprise. You can score additional bonus points for completing the game fast. (For instance, I just finished scoring 32,030 points). So remember, the faster you can complete the game, the more bonus points you will score!
Freecell Solitaire Game Options: All game options are accessed by clicking the Options button located in the lower right corner of the game screen. It kind of looks like a gear shaft. The game options are:
- The game sounds may be adjusted.
- The game music may be adjusted.
- Full Screen mode may be turned on or off.

Comments:
- I have been searching, for quite some time, for a nice Freecell Solitaire game that has all of the features I wanted. This version of Freecell Solitaire has about 99% of what I wanted. I found a few others that also did, but this was the only one that played trouble free. The other Freecell Solitaire games I was considering either worked glitchy, or completely froze up. I don't think there will be any such problems with this one.
- Freecell Solitaire is a game that can usually be won, especially after you learn the game and practice a little. (Of course, some hands will be very challenging, while other hands will be much easier depending on the particular deal). Even so, the game offers a nice mental challenge.
- The only feature this version of Freecell Solitaire doesn't have, which a few others do, is the ability to double click a card to place it in one of the foundation piles. With the version I have here, you must drag each card up to each foundation pile which can get a little tedious. Well, as they say, I guess you can't have everything. lol.
