Marcel's Linux Game of the Month: PySol
by Marcel Gagné
If you asked a number of people (who know nothing about computers) to walk around and look over people's shoulders to discover the most popular computer application, they might be tempted to say "cards", specifically solitaire. I'm not saying people aren't working hard — in fact, I'm advocating that people are working too hard — it's just that seeing an idle PC with a game of solitaire displayed prominently has been one of the most common sights on business computers over the years.
Incidentally, that familiar game of solitaire (sometimes called "patience") that most people are used to seeing is actually called Klondike. The name solitaire actually refers to any of the (possibly thousands) of card games that a person can play on their own. Think "solitary".

The fact that's it's plain old solitaire that you see as you tour the computers of the world says a lot about how boring that other OS is when it comes to a decent game of cards. Today, I'm going to tell you about a solitaire game that will redefine how you view solitaire games. It's called PySol. So what makes PySol such a great game? For starters, there are literally more than 200 different games and game styles included in PySol.
