How do I Play Free Cell Card Games?

If you are bored with regular solitaire, try playing free cell. Free Cell will end like regular solitaire with each suit from ace to king in its own pile, but how the cards get there is different.

Instructions

1. Deal out all of the cards face up into eight columns. The first four columns will have seven cards and the last four columns will have six cards.

2. Keep space available above the 8 columns. The top left area will be used as four card holders, known as the free cells, where you can put a card if it is blocking other cards. You can only put one card in each space. The top right is where you will create the suit piles The piles must start with the aces.

3. Move the last card in any column. Place it on a card that is one rank or number higher and of the other color. An example would be if you have one pile that ends in a jack of hearts and another one that ends in a 10 of clubs. Then move the 10 of clubs to the jack of hearts. You can only move one card at a time.

4. If you see a card that you can use, but it is covered by another card you can't use at that moment, put the top one in one of the empty free cells at the upper left.

5. Once you get an empty column, then put any card you want there. For example if you have a 9 of diamonds in a free cell, you can move the 9 of diamonds to the open column. Then you now can build off of the 9 of diamonds and take advantage of the open free cell.

6. 

   The aces are your starting point for your suit piles.

   Move all of the cards, in order, to their corresponding suit piles to win.
