About

Recall FreeCell

Read full description

Recall FreeCell is the next evolution of the beloved FreeCell solitaire game. It keeps the familiar strategy, sequencing, free cells, foundations, and satisfying logic of classic FreeCell, then adds a new spatial memory challenge: the card columns are arranged around a rotating cylinder. Only part of the table is visible at a time, so winning requires more than spotting the obvious move. You must remember which unseen cards and columns are available as you rotate, plan, and uncover the path to victory. If classic FreeCell has started to feel easy, Recall FreeCell asks a sharper question: can you still solve the game when the board itself tests your short-term memory? Features include multiple difficulty and deal modes, selectable card faces, table backgrounds, undo, auto-finish, restart, optional timer, move counter, save/resume, and a win celebration. Recall FreeCell is familiar enough to learn immediately, but different enough to make FreeCell feel new again.
