Play FreeCell Solitaire Online Free

How to play FreeCell

1. Fifty-two cards are dealt face up into eight cascades — four of seven cards, four of six. You can see everything from the start.
2. Build the four foundations up by suit from ace to king. All fifty-two cards home wins.
3. On the cascades, cards go down in rank and alternate colour: a red six on a black seven. Tap a card to pick it up — with every card below it in the run — then tap where it goes.
4. Any card may start an empty cascade; there is no king rule.
5. The four free cells each hold ONE card. Park a card there to reach the one beneath it, and bring it back down whenever it fits.
6. Moving a run is shorthand for moving its cards one at a time through the free cells and empty cascades, so the run may be at most (free cells + 1) × 2 per empty cascade — half that when it is going to an empty cascade. The table only offers moves that fit.
7. Send home plays every card that is safe to play to the foundations. A position with no legal move at all ends the deal — a loss, dealt again with Play Again.

FreeCell FAQ

Is every FreeCell deal winnable?

Almost — of the classic million numbered deals only eight cannot be won. Ours are shuffled fresh, so a rare dead deal is possible; the table ends it for you when there is no legal move.

How many cards can I move at once?

The number of empty free cells plus one, doubled for each empty cascade — halved when the run is going to an empty cascade. The table only lights up moves that fit.

Can friends watch?

Yes. Share the table link and they can watch live and chat while you play.

Do I need an account?

No. Type a name and play — no signup, no download, nothing to install. Making an account is optional and only exists to keep your stats, nickname and preferences across devices.

Is it really free?

Yes, all of it. Every game on Board Game Universe is free to play, with no premium tier holding anything back.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. It runs in a mobile browser on phones and tablets as well as on a desktop — there is no app to download.

How do I play with my friends?

Start a table and send your friends the link. They open it, type a name, and sit down. Moves and table chat happen in real time.

Can I play against the computer?

Yes. Add a bot to any table and it plays a proper game — useful for filling a seat while you wait for a fourth.
