Just added a new game. This one may need some testing. The rule set is a little unusual.

First, the tableau is laid out in a crescent shape. I'm using math to set the positions, and some of the piles even overlap, barely.

The special move is very strange. You get to use it three times. The bottom card of each tableau pile moves to the top of the same pile. In addition, the tableau piles can build up or down, and even wrap king to ace and ace to king. So you could potentially but a 10 on a 9, then a 9 on that 10 after that. Interesting.

There are 8 foundations. Four build up from ace and four down from king.

I've found a few rule variations, including free cells that can only be used when the foundations meet. Other variations allow you to swap top foundation cards when they meet. I didn't implement either of those.

Not sure how winnable or popular this game will be, but it was interesting to build.
