If you fill all four foundation piles, you win.

To move part of partial pile, drag whole pile - the game will self adjust. Blocks of cards may not be moved, unless the requisite number of free cells and/or tableau spaces are available to allow each individual card to be moved. Any card may be moved into an empty space. Within the tableau, cards are built down in sequence and alternating in color. It may be moved to a foundation pile, a free cell, or to another tableau pile. Only the top (exposed) card of each tableau pile is available for play. The scoring is also changed - only number of moves counted - the lower the score - the better. The cards will be moved to foundation automatically when possible. In particular you don't have to select a card to move - drag and drop entire column - only appropriate cards will move, the rest will snap back. But there are also some minor twists to make it easier to play on a small factor mobile devices. So why should you give our version a try? We largely tried to recreate a full experience of the game in a tiny download package, including power moves, hints and undo (top right corner of the title bar). Since then the game has been ported to numerous platforms. FreeCell remained relatively obscure until it was released as part of Windows 95. It was first included with Win32s as an application that enabled the testing of the 32-bit thunking layer (does anyone remember what that was?). One of the Microsoft developers noticed this version and implemented a version for Windows.

The first computer version of the game is believed to have been created in 1978 for the PLATO system.
