# FreeCell Solitaire rules

> Move the cards to four foundations, ascending by suit. The four free cells each hold one card temporarily. Keep spare cells and empty columns available to rearrange descending, alternating-colour sequences. Read the current in-app rules for supported options, gameplay and scoring details.

## Aim and basic play

Move the cards to four foundations, ascending by suit. The four free cells each hold one card temporarily. Keep spare cells and empty columns available to rearrange descending, alternating-colour sequences.

## Background and variations

Unlike Klondike, the tableau starts face up. The challenge is finding space to rearrange the cards, rather than uncovering hidden cards.

## In CedarCards

Open the game collection, choose this mode, then open Rules & Strategy Guide. These are short introductions, not a complete scoring reference. The current build is under local testing; online multiplayer remains planned.
