Notes

•	There is no reason to not play cards to the foundation.

•

The AutoPlay feature will automatically play cards to the foundations, if possible. This is a big time saving feature in this game. However, you should be aware that there are situations where there are two possibililities for play on the foundations, since there are two decks. There may be two 8 of ♠, for example, that could be played on a certain foundation. The AutoPlay function may not move the same eight to this spot that you might.
