The following Steam leaderboards have been added for Solitaire Expeditions:

Variants won
These are currently viewable on the Steam community site. At some point, I may add a way to view them in game.
If you have suggestions for more leaderboards, let me know!
Added Variant #177
Variant #177: Papa's Canfield
Papa's Canfield is simply Variegated Canfield with unlimited cycling through the deck.
Other changes
Fixed incorrect statistics displayed by game summary dialog
Minor change
Tournament: Added a background visualization to make it easier to differentiate A to K stacks from K to A stacks
Variant #176 and a new setting
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.
