20: .TH CANFIELD 6 "June 23, 1990"
21: .UC 5
22: .SH NAME
23: canfield, cfscores \- the solitaire card game canfield
24: .SH SYNOPSIS
25: .B canfield
26: .br
27: .B cfscores
28: .SH DESCRIPTION
29: .PP
30: If you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended
31: that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In
32: Canfield, tableau cards may be built on each other downward
33: in alternate colors. An entire pile must be moved as a unit
34: in building. Top cards of the piles are available
35: to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.
36: .PP
37: Spaces must be filled from the stock. The top card of
38: the stock also is available to be played on foundations or
39: built on tableau piles. After the stock is exhausted,
40: tableau spaces may be filled from the talon and the player may
41: keep them open until he wishes to use them.
42: .PP
43: Cards are dealt from the hand to the talon by threes
44: and this repeats until there are no more cards in the hand
45: or the player quits. To have cards dealt onto the talon the
46: player types 'ht' for his move. Foundation base cards are
47: also automatically moved to the foundation when they become
48: available.
49: .PP
50: The command 'c' causes
51: .I canfield
52: to maintain card counting statistics
53: on the bottom of the screen.
54: When properly used this can greatly increase one's chances of
55: winning.
56: .PP
57: The rules for betting are somewhat less strict than
58: those used in the official version of the game.
59: The initial deal costs $13.
60: You may quit at this point or inspect the game.
61: Inspection costs $13 and allows you to make as many
62: moves as possible without moving any cards from your hand
63: to the talon.
64: (The initial deal places three cards on the talon;
65: if all these cards are used,
66: three more are made available.)
67: Finally, if the game seems interesting,
68: you must pay the final installment of $26.
69: At this point you are
70: credited at the rate of $5 for each card on the foundation;
71: as the game progresses you are credited with $5 for each
72: card that is moved to the foundation.
73: Each run through the hand after the first costs $5.
74: The card counting feature
75: costs $1 for each unknown card that is identified.
76: If the information is toggled on,
77: you are only charged for cards
78: that became visible since it was last turned on.
79: Thus the maximum cost of information is $34.
80: Playing time is charged at a rate of $1 per minute.
81: .PP
82: With no arguments, the program
83: .I cfscores
84: prints out the current status of your canfield account.
85: If a user name is specified,
86: it prints out the status of their canfield account.
87: If the
88: .B \-a
89: flag is specified,
90: it prints out the canfield accounts for all users that have
91: played the game since the database was set up.
