Goal of the game
Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations, in ascending order and by suit (Spades on Spades, Hearts on Hearts, Diamonds on Diamonds, Clubs on Clubs), from Ace to King. The game is won the moment each foundation holds the 13 cards of its suit.
Setup
Shuffle a standard 52-card deck. Deal the cards face-up into 8 columns: the first four hold 7 cards each, the next four hold 6 cards — totalling 28 + 24 = 52 cards. Above the tableau, reserve four free cells (empty at the start) and four foundations (empty at the start, one per suit). Every card is visible from the very first move; there is no stock pile, no waste pile, and no redeal.
Reglas del FreeCell
- Reparte las 52 cartas boca arriba en 8 columnas: cuatro de siete y cuatro de seis.
- Usa las 4 celdas libres para guardar temporalmente cualquier carta suelta.
- Construye el tableau en orden descendente y alternando colores.
- Construye las pilas base en orden ascendente por palo, de As a Rey.
- Puedes mover una secuencia en grupo solo si tienes celdas libres y columnas vacías suficientes.
Win and loss conditions
You win the moment all 52 cards have been built up onto the four foundations, Ace-2-3-…-King for each suit. You lose if no legal moves remain — every tableau card is blocked and the free cells are full. Solitaire Royal's undo button rewinds bad moves; you can also restart the deal or shuffle a new one. Deals are randomly shuffled and guaranteed solvable.
Estrategia y consejos
- Planifica desde el objetivo hacia atrás: localiza tus Ases y 2, y traza el camino para liberarlos.
- Trata las celdas libres como ahorros: cada carta que aparques es una que ya no puedes mover.
- Las columnas vacías multiplican tu capacidad de movimiento; protégelas.
