Eight Off is a popular variation of FreeCell and Baker's Game except there are more freecells. Like those games you can only move a single card at-a-time except for "supermoves" which allow you to move groups of in-order cards if you have enough freecells to make the move one card at-a-time. All four variants are free to play, no in-app purchases. EIGHT OFF - The classic game with 8 freecells. SEVEN OFF - A harder version with 7 freecells. SIX OFF - An even harder version with 6 freecells. FIVE OFF - The hardest version with 5 freecells.
