PySolFC - The Mac's Missing Solitaire Collection

I don't understand why, but OS X only comes with one game- Chess. Well, not counting the games that are in Gnu Emacs, but, that's for another blog and another post. PySolFC is the community fork of PySol. It's actually available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. It's absolutely free, as in beer and as in speech.

Here's the description from the website:

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 modern look and feel (uses Ttk widget set), multiple cardsets 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.
PySolFC is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
The important thing is, that is has Freecell, as that is my current Solitaire addiction. I found that once I turned off the sound and set the mouse to "Point-and-click" instead of "Drag-and-drop" (both settings are under the Options menu) that I was totally comfortable with this interface. Oh, and don't forget to check out PySolFC's impressive collection of cardsets.
