How to play Relaxed FreeCell
- Deal: 52 cards are dealt face up into 8 columns.
- Goal: move every card to the 4 foundations, building each one up by suit from Ace to King.
- Columns build down in alternating colours (red on black, black on red).
- Free cells hold one card each. Use them to dig out buried cards, and empty them again quickly.
- An empty column accepts any card or ordered run.
- Any ordered run can move as a group.

Strategy tips
- Free Aces and Twos first; look for them before your first move.
- Empty a whole column early. It is worth more than any free cell.
- Before using a free cell, check that you can empty it again within a few moves.
- Keep long alternating runs together; breaking them costs free cells later.
- Use Undo freely. Every deal can be replayed by its game number.
