Where this table comes from
Material · Occasion · Pace
A late-century desk classic: every card face up, skill over luck, free cells as working hands.
Material
One deck dealt into eight open cascades, four free cells, and four foundations.
Occasion
Focused solo sittings when you want every card visible from the start.
Pace
Deliberate cascade planning; empty cells multiply what you can move.
FreeCell made open information the point. The free cells are not shortcuts so much as temporary hands that keep a thoughtful layout alive.
