  When a hand is dealt 52 points are subtracted from the score.
  For each of the first four cards played from the tableau in a sequence one point is added.
  For each of the second four cards played from the tableau in a sequence two points are added.
  Then four points for the next four cards, eight for the next four, then sixteen etc.
  If one peak is empty the points added are doubled.
  If two peaks are empty the points added are quadrupled.
