Sorry, it seems I have added a bug to the tutorial. If you were stuck, it is fixed now.
The tutorial is only in the built in game, if you create your own, it will not appear.
There is also a cheat under options > developer > cheats to skip it. :)
I did manage to play a few more times but I was not very good. I found the computer had placed more cards in the middle than me - and I lost. I'll keep trying as the learning curve.
