I found that it's really easy to understand once you understand it, but the understanding can take time. >>Also, learning a good way to implement and organize your cards is clutch.
Let's say that we draw the cards DDCBADDBCAAAA in that order. (This is going to be a doozy.) This is how you would lay them out and score them if you drew them one at a time.
1)
D (1VP)
2)
D (1VP)
D (1VP)
3)
CD(4VP)
D (1VP)
4)
BCD (9VP)
D (1VP)
5)
ABCD (16VP)
D (1VP)
6)
ABCD (16VP)
D (1VP)

7)

Basically, it HAS to go in whatever gets the most points.
Also, I am pretty sure what I put above probably just was more confusing than helpful. My bad.
