An introduction to playing FreeCell
Take a moment to read the table. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group.
