50
Gaps in the leftmost column may be filled by moving a 2 of any suit
51
there. A gap to the right of any non-King card may be filled by placing
52
the card with the same suit but one rank higher into the gap. Gaps
53
following Kings or other gaps may not be filled.
56
Once a card is placed in a sequence starting with a 2 in the leftmost
57
slot, it can no longer be moved.
60
If no moves are possible (i.e., all gaps follow Kings),
61
double-clicking any card will cause a redeal. Any cards not in sequence
62
will be removed, shuffled, and redealt. Only two redeals are allowed.

Randomly Placed Gaps on Redeal: Check this to have randomly placed gaps
70
after a redeal. If unchecked, the gaps will always be placed directly to the

right of any cards already in sequence after redealing.
