About

A free-cell style solitaire with full multi-card moves: the game works out how many cards you can move at once from your empty free cells and columns, so you never have to shuffle a run by hand. Safe cards fly to the foundations automatically, # sends any card home, and long columns squeeze to fit small screens. Your fastest solve is saved.

Objective: Move all 52 cards to the four foundations, in suit from Ace to King.
