Every card in plain sight
FreeCell
One deck
Goal: build all four foundations up from Ace to King, each in a single suit.
- Tableau columns build down in alternating colour (e.g. a red 6 on a black 7).
- You move strictly one card at a time. A run already in alternating-colour order can be dragged as a group, but only as many cards as you could move by hand: (1 + free cells) × 2 for each empty column. Free a cell or clear a column to move a longer run.
- Each of the four free cells holds a single card — use them as temporary parking.

Four free cells that hold one card each, alternating-colour columns, and staged moves that limit how many cards a run may carry. Written as a design file, this is the whole game. Make a game explains every part of it.
