Tuesday Treasure Trove: Numero IV
Do you know what today is?!
That’s right! It’s Tuesday Treasure Trove!
Tuesday is for the letter T!
Sorry, I’m just regressing to my days of Sesame Street as a child. That’s how I learned how to read, you know.
Just kidding. I learned that on the innernets!
Anyways! On with today’s review!
Today I’m reviewing Freecell by Microsoft!
Okay! So, in Freecell, you start off with a deck of 52 cards. And then you… um.. Like… put them in order and stuff.
Actually, let’s see what Wikipedia says about it:
* Shuffle, then deal the 52 cards face up in 8 columns with each card visible but only the end card of each column fully exposed. Four columns will have 7 cards, the others only 6.
* Apart from the columns, there are four single card free ”cells” and four suit piles (”foundations”). The objective is to get all the cards into the ”foundations”.
* Single exposed cards may be moved:
** Column to column, placing the card on a card of the next rank and different color suit. (E.G. Place a red 3 on a black 4.) (Aces are low.) Or placing the card on an empty column.
** Column to FreeCell, any exposed card as long as there is an empty cell.
** FreeCell to Column, as column to column.
** Column to suit home pile. Next card in order, starting with the Ace, ending with the King. Each suit is completely independent.
** FreeCell to suit home pile. As column to suit home pile.
Wow… that was insightful!
You can also do stuff like… check your stats and see if you’ve won a lot or lost a lot. Let’s see how I’m doing:
I am a GOD of Freecell.
Okay, they’re not really my stats. I found it on GIS.
Can you tell that I didn’t get to play a game this weekend? My computer at home just got a very needed part that I installed Sunday afternoon. It’s working now, but dis es why there is no real Tuesday Treasure Trove. I’m sure you’re devistated.
I know I am.
Look everyone! I won!
I give Freecell a 5 out of 5 pirate hats (only because I don’t want my kneecaps broken by Microsoft)!

Man… this thing looks all messed up when I look at it again.
I was entertained writing it!
