FREECELL(6) Games Manual FREECELL(6)

freecell — patience game

freecell [-d delay] [-n game]

freecell is a terminal FreeCell patience game. The arguments are as follows:

delay
Set the delay in milliseconds between queued moves. The default is 50.
game
Select the game number to play.

Moves are performed by typing a sequence of two keys. To automatically move a card to a free cell, type the same key twice. The keys are as follows:

Cancel a pending move.
, Backspace
Undo the previous move.
, 2, 3, 4
Select the cells.
, w, e, r, a, s, d, f
Select the tableau cascades.
, Space
Manually move the selected card to the foundations.
Move a single card to an empty tableau cascade.
