It has also been suggested that their model for game play might have a big flaw that could make your work (and it IS work) nothing more than spent time. Be prepared to teach yourself and spend many, many hours learning to play. There are few if any official helpers, and although the user community is helpful, it's very confusing and tedious to learn what can and can't be done, how to do the folding, or in fact, why you're really doing it in the first place.

I've searched the site without much luck. Any thoughts?
