Puzzle games.

Looks like my OpenGL thread grows strong, so I decided to try another one.
What puzzle games do you play in Linux?
I use Linux for about 10 years now and I remember lots of cool puzzle games, I think I should refresh my memory and maybe you could show me some hidden pearls?

Probably the most interesting puzzle game was from 1999:
GFingerPoken - http://gfpoken.bigw.org/ - it takes a while before you understand what's going on but then you can spend hours with it. Author discontinued work with this game long time ago, probably he never liked it so much

Another one, much newer is:
Einstein Puzzle - http://games.flowix.com/en/index.html - you need to read the instructions, takes about half hour to solve, you can have whole evening of fun with it.

Very popular game:
XMahjongg - http://www.lcdf.org/xmahjongg/ - much easier to start, but quite complex, because sometimes you need to go back (beginners don't understand that and think that all the game is to find matching pieces, and then they start over).

There are many other puzzle games I know, but I listed ones I spend hours of fun with.
What are your best puzzle games?

Flobopuyo - http://www.ios-software.com/?page=projet&quoi=29 - A an excelent clone of the Japanese Puyo Puyo by Sega.  It's just about the greatest Puyo Puyo clone available for Linux.

Crack Attack - A great Tetris Attack clone with online multiplayer capabilities.

Re: Puzzle games.

Pretty new and not exactly a puzzle-game, but it looks promising and like it could be fun too: gbrainy.

Re: Puzzle games.

I went to install gbrainy, but then I realized that it infects your computer with Mono.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Mono. I only use WINE for one reason, and that reason is slowly becoming obsolete with some newer programs/scripts...

What I would really like is a picross game. I haven't been able to find any so far (other than a java one), and I'm almost to the point where I am going to give up and make one myself...
