Description : A large collection of solitaire card, MaJong, and other games written in Python
(copied from website)
PySol Fan Club Edition (PySolFC) is a collection of more than 1000 solitaire card games. It is a fork of PySol Solitaire.
There are games that use the 52 card International Pattern deck, games for the 78 card Tarock deck, eight and ten suit Ganjifa games, Hanafuda games, Matrix games, Mahjongg games, and games for an original hexadecimal-based deck.
Its features include a modern look and feel (uses the TTk widget set), multiple card sets and tableau backgrounds, sound, unlimited undo, player statistics, a hint system, demo games, a solitaire wizard, support for user written plug-ins, an integrated HTML help browser, and lots of documentation.
This game (or Pysol, which it forks) was in Buster and earlier Debian versions, and appears to be in Sid, but is NOT in Trixie, or Bookworm. There are some old bugs filed against it that I found, but I'm not sure if they were ever solved. (I am not a dev!) I have been addicted to playing FreeCell on many systems for years, and this version has IMHO the best interface I've ever encountered. I have looked at the available packages that say they offer FreeCell, and IMHO they are horrible to play. I have attempted to follow the instructions on making a local package and have gotten errors I don't understand. I don't want to make a FrankenDeb, please make this game available
