This is almost a bug, but it should be an easy fix.

In Braid, Auto Drop will play cards pretty much at random. They should be prioritized. Auto Drop does make the game more enjoyable, but it is annoying when obviously bad moves need to be retracted repeatedly (penalizing the player's score).

It should be coded as follows:
(1) play from the braid first, if possible
(2) play from the board (helper cards), if possible
(3) play from the discard stack, if possible
Restart from the top if a card is played.

This procedure is much better than just breaking ties for duplicated cards. [For example: the board has a playable 4s, and the braid has a playable 5h followed by the other 4s. Playing the 4s from the board first would usually be a blunder. The suggested procedure would play both from the braid.]

Thanks to all the PySol contributors!!
