Enjoy the finest FreeCell game ever from Pixel Play LLC! Whether playing to relax or challenge yourself - we’ve designed this classic solitaire game to be gorgeous, too. FreeCell by Pixel Play is single player, FREE to download, and visually customizable. FreeCell by Pixel Play Features: • FREE Download • Single Player • 8+ Card Designs • 19+ Playing Backgrounds • Hints and Undo • Player Stats • Future Updates • Easy to Learn • Mutable Audio How to Play: There is one deck of 52 cards in the classic Solitaire game. The object is to move all cards of 4 suits - hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs - to the foundation stacks on the upper left. Stack solitaire cards by suit, from Ace to King (A, 2, 3 and so on) on the foundation stacks. Move cards between columns, and stack cards in descending order, alternating between red and black suits. For example, a black 10 could only be followed by a red 9. Move up to 5 grouped stacks of cards at a time when the 4 blank ‘free’ cells on the upper right are empty. Temporarily hold cards in the 4 blank spaces on the upper right. For each blank space that is filled, you have 1 fewer card in each grouped stack available to move at a time. Kings only can be placed as the first card in a free column. Use Undo or Hints when you get stuck! Some solitaire games are unsolvable according to classic solitaire rules.
