Hooked on card game
Way back, I was in my office talking with a friend about computers when he asked me if I had ever played the simple little card game FreeCell. I answered "no" and he said there was 32,000 possible combinations and he was not sure if they were all winnable. Later on, as I was about to shut down my computer, I called up FreeCell and started playing in sequence with game 1, playing as many as my mood warranted. Last night before I shut down, I finished game 14,091 .... it's my sleeping pill.

I regularly play Freecell and Spider Solitaire. Both are addictive and fun to play.
Speaking of which... I think a will fire up a game or two..

Dono, I got Michelle involved in Freecell a few months after her first 2 strokes to hopefully kick start her rehab.
She was a bit frustrated at the start but later got better.
After the 3rd stroke it seemed like she might be losing what she had achieved.
But the game seemed to hold true with her.
She has come a long way now having graduated to action strategy online games.
The doctors and rehab team felt that getting her involved in strategy games like freecell when we did was a huge boost to her rehab.
I feel it is a great addictive game as well

I used to play a lot of freecell, I found the more frequently I played the better I got.
The game keeps track of winning percentage and longest streaks, so what's everybody's best streak? At one point I won 119 consecutive randomly generated games.
