I love to play a relaxing game of solitare but the only games I had ran on classic which I try not to use. Then I found Pysol Solitare. To run this, you need Python and several libs which can all be installed with fink. Note I could not get this to run with MacPython.

Just download the tar.bz2 move it to your home directory and gnutar it:

gnutar -xzvf pysol-4.80.tar.bz2
Move the pysol-4.80 folder to a handy place (I used Shared) and rename it pysol so you don't have to remember the version. You could leave it in your home folder but don't be a piggy as everyone will enjoy this.

At the terminal then type:
/Users/Shared/pysol/pysol
to run it. Enjoy!

[Editor's note: I have not tested this myself, but it looks like a nice Solitaire collection if you have XFree86 installed and running.]
