PySol - Rules for FreeCell

# FreeCell

FreeCell type. 1 deck. No redeal.

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Rules

FreeCell is played with one deck. All cards are dealt at the start of the game. To compensate for this there are 4 free cells which can hold any - and just one - card.

Piles build down by alternate color, and an empty space can be filled with any card or sequence.

The number of cards you can move as a sequence is restricted by the number of free cells - the number of free cells required is the same as if you would make an equivalent sequence of moves with single cards. (As a shortcut, the computer also considers the number of free piles so that you can move even more cards as one single sequence.)

### Notes
