Simple oversight: the counting should start from '2', rather than '1'. If the 4 cards placed are kings, you won't have 13*4 cards to place down on top. Also, while running some analysis on the algorithm, I noticed that the size of the 4 talons, or discard piles, follows a Poisson distribution function. I'm not sure if this is actually creating a bias in the algorithm, or not. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
