Starting to add "Rules" to form a playable game.
Today I need to start getting the rules of Spider Solitaire to work, but as always will be looking for ways to reuse this code for all the future games.

The rules are fairly simplistic for this one.
You can only drop a card/group if the topmost card in your hand is one value below the card at the bottom of the pile.
You can also only lift a group if all the cards are in descending order.

With just those two simple rules, the majority of this game should instantly fall into place.
But trying to find a way to write those rules in code, when the code is in a separate function from the game, is going to be quite tricky I think.

Never-the-less, that's today's goal, and without it working properly, there's quite that can go wrong with the engine.
I'll also need to double/triple check along the way, that future tweaks don't break existing games, so whatever I do manage to code today will have to be as reusable as possible for future games.

.. Nice and easy, then!!
