Cannot figure how to play free cell

Asked by Marion Wredt

I have removed Windows from my computer in favor of running Ubuntu 12.04. Used to play freecell in windows and would like to do so in Ubuntu but cannot figure out how to do it.
When I open Ubuntu Software Center, then click on installed/games/freecell solitare, then I can do no more and it gives me no way to play the game. What gives?

If you are running unity, click on top icon, type into search box. I am running Classic, and do not remember the icon name.

actionparsnip--I clicked on the link you gave but still cannot figure out how to open freecell and play it. Can you give more explicit instructions to someone like me who knows little about computers and less about Ubuntu?

In Dash, search for:

aisleriot

It will then start ok

Can you help with this problem?
