Some time ago I posted this PySolFC: a Python solitaire game collection.
Meanwhile there is a newer version, and as it is in gizmo's Best Free Card Game on first place, I thought it's worth to mention it here again.

Game:
http://pysolfc.sourceforge.net/

Total games: 1061
.

.

Categories

* French (722 games)
* Mahjongg (200 games)
* Hanafuda (43 games)
* Tarock (22 games)
* Mughal Ganjifa (20 games)
* Dashavatara Ganjifa (20 games)
* Hex A Deck (19 games)
* Trumps only (15 games)

All the games are full, free, clean, open-source and without ad ware.

With rules for each game, demos*, whizzard, skins, decks, sounds, lots of options...
*"Demos" mean, that you may play all games in demo-mode, when you don't know the rules, or will see how they work.
The "demo" pics are here to show that this collection is great even for beginners or to learn new games. There are even written rules for every game.

Besides that you need Python (programming language):
I have the version 2.6. and it runs flawlessly.

Python 2.6.

For improved look of the deck (required python-imaging v.1.1.7)
http://pysolfc.sourceforge.net/#introduction
PIL-1.1.7.win32-py2.6.exe [838k] [python 2.6] http://effbot.org/downloads/#pil

That sounds more complicated than it is. I play one of these games daily !!! since many, many years, different versions on different puters.

You can learn more about Python if you are interested - but don't need it for the game.
The Python Wiki

Have fun.

Sorry, for the delayed pictures :)
The pics are resized, originally the cards and tiles are bigger.

Think I am gonna try this out. Thanks. But got a few questions for you, Lady Gray.

Do you have to install python-imaging v.1.1.7 first or what? What happens if you don't install it? Just curious.

I see from the pics that some of the games are demos. Is this "Collection" all demos? If demos, what does it hamper?

No! No demos - all the games are full, free, clean, open-source and without ad-ware.

You may play all games in demo-mode, when you don't know the rules, or will see how they work.
The "demo" pics are here to show that this collection is great even for beginners or to learn new games. There are even written rules for every game.

To the installation - well, it's so long ago, I hardly remember...
What ever, you have to install python before you start the games. The same for the PIL.
I don't know how the games work without the Python-imaging. I think at least some of the graphics (card-decks, majongg-tiles) will not be available.

I installed my first version several years ago, without having ever heard about Python - and it worked easily - so I don't think you will have any problems.
I didn't try the newer releases of Python, as far as I remember, are the games only compatible with the 2.6. version.

Give it a try, when you are a fan of solitaire games you will not be disappointed.

Good luck :)

PS: I edited the first text, to make it clearer - hopefully.

WR could you please add this to G@rgoyles Free Games Synopsis? Thanks.

EDIT

I just linked to this thread in the old discussion.
Maybe that's enough.

I will add it as soon a si catch up. am several pages behind. Do you mind if I also change the title of the post to the games project title? Will await your answer.
It just makes it easier to find. :)

It was two years ago that you posted the original, which you can find HERE. It is referenced in G@rgoyles Free games synopsis. It's always good to get card games added to the project. We don't often include them. I tended to avoid them for some reason (though I have posted some), but they are as much a part of the gaming industry as any other genre.

Yes, please change the title.
2 years ago, I asked for info about Python and didn't post a review about the games collection. Therefore I started a new thread now.
BTW, there are not only card games included, Mahjongg too.

Just want to remind you of a fantastic collection of Solitär / Patience / Mahjong / Card games:
PySolFC (PySol Fan Club Edition) 2.0

Now you don't need to install Python or anything else to play the games.
Just download the exe file, install and have fun.
It works fine under Win 7 64-bit.

You can get the exe installer of

Thanks! I just lost one of my favorite Mahjongg games with my upgrade to 7. It got iffy on the mouse and some of the displays don't go away as they should. The CD is ONLY about 10 years old! Looking forward to this one!

Edit -- I got it downloaded and installed. I'm impressed! There are a lot of games in this little freebie. The only things it's missing is a shortcut icon. I don't have my icon creator software installed yet!

Yea, this is one of the first games I reinstalled on my Win7.

Thanks for bringing this up again, Graylox. I couldn't get the download from the first link (yesterday, 17 Nov 2012), so got it from Sourceforge, and it automatically created the shortcut. An impressive number of games, and types of games, even Mahjong. Should keep me out of trouble (or maybe in trouble) for a while.

Great collection of games: thank you very much for pointing these out. Downloaded very quickly without any problem on XP and has created a shortcut as well. Excellent!
