FREE CELL
FREE TIME, FREE CELL
Don’t Yawn, don’t look disinterested, don’t look bored ever, you work hard to put your company where it is today and now you have free time in office or elsewhere, don’t know what to do, do free cell it is a liberating game, free is a word with happy feelings attached with it, it exhilarates your emotions whenever you hear it.

Free cell is a game of cards; no it is not a usual game of cards, in card games virtual or real
Everybody deals the cards, computers, players, casino workers everyone, in this game there are no card dealings, just randomly arranged cards. The word cell has many connotations , old days it meant only dark gloomy room, but modern days, cell is very high tech, area covered by mobile telephone transmitters and receivers that area is also called cell, hence cell phone.

GAME BOARD, FREE CELL
4 Empty slots to the top right and top left a king in the middle watching over his courtiers, the animations are rather cute and almost like a king if you have seen a live king, like that of the king of Brunei. Bottom 8 rows with 4 rows with 7 cards and 4 rows with 6 cards, face up mocking you and waiting to test your solution finding abilities.

GOAL OF PLAY
Pick cards ace up 4 suits and arrange them in 4 empty slots in top right, spades, diamonds, hearts and flowers, ace unto kings. 4 suits complete it and you win the game.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN
This was what the original host of Crystal Dome used to say, he was a very unique host in the world of game shows, he was bald and very entertaining, in our game you use the 4 empty slots on top left to drop and rearrange the cards another aid you have is rearrange the cards in the lower 8 rows itself black on red in sequence for example black 9 on red 10, dig to reach an Ace, you get ace stack it in the top right slot and then the 2's and 3's which ever is in your reach, complete the 4 four suits in sequence on top right stacks you are home fee. This means you have basically 2 tools empty 4 slots in top left and arranging top down black over red in sequence in the lower 8 rows.

Suppose you dig and a row becomes empty in the bottom, this is an advantage, you can use this spot to rearrange the jumble in proper order. Let me tell you many times cards which are open to be stacked on top left usually fly away by themselves by the game itself, the trick is to dig them out properly. It needs you to plan 5 or 6 steps ahead always.

THE PROGRAM OF THIS GAME
This game program has 1 Million (1,000,000) card jumbles in its database, every time you start the game, you are asked to select a jumble number from 1 to million or the game selects a jumble for you automatically, if you are a person who do not like to repeat yourself, even while playing then please note down the game numbers you already played and select a different jumble every time you are on FREE CELL. There is one irritating message you get do you want to move column or single card. It is best to move single card.

MENUS AND TRIVIA
The Game is a gift with service pack 1 along with windows XP or few previous versions, Microsoft has given this game free with its XP setup program, this is a very beautiful software, there is on the outer frame of this game board the number of remaining cards to be solved are shown constantly and is being updated as you play, this to help you know where exactly you stand from the end of your goal.
If other card games are GO CART racing then FREE CELL is the formula one of all card games in the PC GLOBE, Solitaires are prep school and FREE CELL is a university course.

THE HARDWARE USE
Single click on a card drag it on top of another card or drop it in the left top empty slot and single click to drop, the single clicked card turns into reverse colors and the dropped card turns back to multicolor, the mouse pointer turns into large upward pointing arrow to indicate a card is already picked by you.
There is no time limit and no points for the games, however if you do a wrong pick or wrong landing a error is calculated, the screen blinks to indicate your error and 4 or 5 errors you get a message you have lost the game, do you want to play again the same game.

You also get a screen blink if you don’t have any landing space left or no possible moves left, its like reaching a dead end, you cannot win the game but still the game is not over, it is best to end the game and start a new one, there are statistics under game menu, it gives you the number of games won, lost and loss streaks and win streaks and over all percentage of win and loss of all your games every played on this board. Mine are today: 60 won lost 121, 33% wins and win streaks 3 and losses 8.

CONCLUSION
The game format is like hand of God arranging all the human race, Diamonds, Spades, Hearts, Flowers some ages men are successful they go to neat disciplined top right boxes and some ages men are deceitful and cheating and lying and hand of God cannot solve the mess and you loose.

Yo be successful humans don’t try to succeed at all cost that is the biggest loss.
