Familiar FreeCell, at your own pace. Clear, classic playing cards on a deep green board. Use four free cells to move all 52 cards to four home cells in this classic single-player card game. Build eight tableau columns in descending order, alternating red and black. Build each home cell from Ace to King in the same suit. Each free cell holds one card. Move up to the number of empty free cells plus one card as a sequence; empty tableau columns do not multiply that limit. You can move the top card back from a home cell. Tap or drag to move cards. Use Undo to rethink a move or Restart to try the same deal again. Undo counts as a move and does not rewind time. New Game randomly shuffles all 52 cards. Completion is not guaranteed for every deal. Every game earns coins. Get card backs, JQK art, tables and win effects in the shop, then mix them in Dress Up to make the board your own. Every 10 games, the exploration of your chosen place ends and you always find an item. There are 24 secrets you can only find by exploring. Free, with ads. Gameplay works offline from your first launch. Ads use an internet connection. Includes sound on/off and result sharing. For iPhone and iPad. Supports 10 languages: Japanese, English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Choose a language in Settings.
