Variant #176: Tournament
This variant is fairly unique - no building on the Tableau, and half of the foundations are built up from Ace to King and half are built down from King to Ace.
New setting
Today's build adds a new setting: "Automatically check for loss". By default, this is enabled and continues the existing behavior in the game where it will inform the user when they have lost because there are no more valid moves.
If disabled, the game will only tell you that you have lost if you request a hint and there are no moves available.
