Play FreeFan Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

Two free cells get bolted onto Fan Solitaire, giving you a safe parking spot for any card with nowhere left to go.

FreeFan Solitaire is Fan Solitaire with two free cells bolted on, giving you a couple of spots to park a card while you work out where it really belongs. Gregg Seelhoff created it, and the two cells make an already forgiving game noticeably easier to steer.

If you'd rather play it without the free cells, the original Fan Solitaire is where this one started. Prefer more room to maneuver instead? Lucky Fan Solitaire is another Fan variant built around a similar idea.

How to play FreeFan Solitaire

Foundation:

There are four foundation piles.

Any ace in the foundation may be transferred to any vacant pile.

A card can be added to a foundation pile only if it's one rank higher and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a Q of hearts is a K of hearts.

The top card of each foundation can be moved back into play if another pile will accept it.

Fan:

There are eighteen fan piles of cards, with the first sixteen each having three cards and the following two each having two cards. Every card is dealt face-up.

A card can be added to a fan pile only if it's one rank lower and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a Q of spades is a J of spades.

Cards on the fan that are not covered by another card can be played onto the foundation, an empty cell, or any other fan pile.

Only kings may fill empty places in the fan.

Cells:

Two cells, both of which start out empty.

One card can be stored in each cell. Any available card can be played into any available cell. Cell cards can be returned to the fan or the foundation.
