Triple Klondike: Changed layout so cards could be bigger
Hotfix for undo in certain Fan variants
Fixed bug in some Fan types where undoing a redeal was not restoring redeals left. Variants affected: Demon Fan, Fan, Intelligence, La Belle Lucie, Trefoil
Fixed bug where Tableau piles were not wrapping in the right direction
Some game types allow for wrapping King to Ace or Ace to King when building Tableau piles.
The logic for this was inverted (so they would wrap in the wrong direction), and has been fixed.
10 new variants and get 30% off during the Steam Spring Sale
10 new variants added, bringing the total to 175
Here's the list:
Caprice - This is unlike any existing variant in Solitaire Expeditions. There are two sets of foundations: One is built up from Ace to King, and the other is build down from King to Ace. Tableau piles can be built up or down.
Nationale - Gameplay is identical to Caprice, but the cards are all dealt out at the beginning of the game.
Fortress - A variation on Beleaguered Castle where Tableau piles can be built up or down.
Chessboard - This is Fortress with one rule change: the player gets to choose the base rank of the Foundation piles.
Giza II - This is Giza with one twist: Pairs can be made with a covered card and the card on top of it.
Pyramid II - Pyramid where pairs can be made with a covered card and the card on top of it
Relaxed Pyramid II - Relaxed Pyramid where pairs can be made with a covered card and the card on top of it
Triangle II - Triangle where pairs can be made with a covered card and the card on top of it
Carpet - A very simple Foundation based game where you have 20 single card piles laid out in a grid.
Trefoil - A derivative of La Belle Lucie where the Aces are pulled out and placed on the Foundations at the start of the game.
Minor improvement to the hint system
If you have one or more cards selected then the hint system will now first look for available targets for that selection.

Difficulty adjustment patch
Redeals added to Pyramid and Relaxed Pyramid
These games had extremely low win rates (Pyramid had 0 wins in over 4000 games). Turns out that it's common that redeals are allowed in these variants. Thus, Pyramid now allows 2 redeals and Relaxed Pyramid allows 1. I will also be resetting the global stats on these variants so that I can accurately measure the difficulty of them with the redeals.
