The Deal

Using one deck, all cards are dealt face up 8 columns in the layout. The first four columns are dealt 7 cards each and the last four columns are dealt 6 cards each.

Foundations

Foundations are built UP and IN SUIT starting with Aces. For example, on the Ace of Clubs, only the 2 of Clubs may be played, then the 3 of Clubs, etc.

Columns

Columns must be built DOWN IN ALTERNATING COLOR. For example, a black 7 can be placed on a red 8, but not on a black 8. However, any card may be placed in an empty Column.

Only the topmost card in any column may be moved.

Reserves

The are four Reserves that act as a holding spot for any card at any time - the "free cells." These Reserve spots start the game empty.

Game Notes

SoliTaireNetwork.com's version of FreeCell supports a "Supermove" where you may move more than one card at a time as long as the move would have been possible had it been done moving a single card at a time also.

Currently, there are certain situations where the game doesn't allow a supermove that is valid. We will work on improving the game until this problem is resolved.
