Rules and Details of

Playing Free Cell

Moving cards between

the CARD ZONE and

FREE ZONE

To move a card between

the CARD ZONE and the FREE

ZONE, first press the appro- priate CELL KEY below the row containing the card you would like to move. Next press FREE CELL. You’ll see that the lowest stacking card in the column you chose will be moved to the FREE ZONE. For example, if you press CELL KEY 1, the lowest stacking card in column one

(cell zone one) will flash. By next pressing FREE CELL, you’ll move that card into

the FREE ZONE.

Note that only four cards can be held in the FREE ZONE at one time. If you want to move a card out of the FREE

ZONE into the CARD ZONE,

first press FREE CELL to select the card, and then press the CELL KEY corres- ponding to the column where you want to place the card.

The card you are moving from the FREE ZONE must be the opposite color of the lowest stacking card in the column you are moving it to. (If you are moving a red card, for example, the low- est stacking card in the des- ignated column must be black.) Also, the sequence must be in descending order.
