How to Play Selective Freecell
Game Objective
Move all cards to the four foundations.
Foundation Rules
- There are four foundations.
- Any card may serve as the initial base rank for an empty foundation.
- The foundations build up by the same suit. Foundations can build around-the-corner (an Ace may move onto a King).
- For example the 5♠ may move onto the 4♠ and the 5♦ may move onto the 4♦. Starting with the J♦ the following sequence can build on top Q♦ K♦ A♦ 2♦.
Cell Rules
- There are four cells.
- Any card may fill an empty space.
- The top card is movable.
Tableau Rules
- There are eight tableaus.
- Any card may fill an empty space.
- The tableaus build down by alternating colors.
- For example the J♠ may move onto the Q♦ and the J♥ may move onto the Q♣. Starting with the J♥ the following sequence can build on top 10♠ 9♦ 8♣.
- Any card may move to an empty tableau.
- Sequences of cards built down by alternating color can move together as a group.
Strategy & Tips
3 tips for the best chance of winning Selective Freecell:
- Keep the four free cells, free where possible. They are used to help move the large stacks of cards.
- An empty tableau doubles the number of cards you can move between tableaus.
- Any single card may be moved to a free cell space.
