How to Play FreeCell Duplex
Game Objective
The goal of FreeCell Duplex is to move all 104 cards to the foundation piles. You achieve this by building sequences of cards up by suit that start with an Ace and end with a King. You win when the eight foundations each contain a complete sequence of thirteen cards.
Foundation Rules
- There are eight foundations.
- An Ace may move to an empty foundation.
- The foundations build up by the same suit.
- For example the 7♠ may move onto the 6♠ and the 7♦ may move onto the 6♦. Starting with the 7♣ the following sequence can build on top 8♣ 9♣ 10♣ J♣.
Cell Rules
- There are eight cells.
- Any card may fill an empty space.
- The top card is movable.
Tableau Rules
- There are twelve tableaus.
- Any card may fill an empty space.
- The tableaus build down by alternating colors.
- For example the 10♠ may move onto the J♦ and the 10♥ may move onto the J♣. Starting with the 10♥ the following sequence can build on top 9♠ 8♦ 7♣.
- Any card may move to an empty tableau.
- Sequences of cards built down by alternating color can move together as a group.
