The goal of FreeCell solitaire is to place all the
cards in each suit in stacks of ascending order. Stacks of cards with
alternating colors in descending order can be built in the bottom half of
the screen as an intermediate step. In FreeCell, the location of all the
cards in the deck are known at the start of a game. This makes victory
depend more on strategy than on luck.
There are three areas of the screen:
Building Stacks
The building stacks are found in the bottom half of the screen. The contents
of the entire deck are initially found in the building stacks. All the cards
in the building stacks are visible, but only the top card can be moved.
Free Cells The free cells are found in the upper left corner
and are used to temporarily store a card from the building stacks. Only one
card can be placed in a free cell.
Suit Stacks
The suit stacks are located in the upper right corner and are initially
unoccupied.
