If you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended
|
|
that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In
|
|
.BR canfield ,
|
|
tableau cards may be built on each other downward
|
|
in alternate colors. An entire pile must be moved as a unit
|
|
in building. Top cards of the piles are available to be able
|
|
to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Spaces must be filled from the stock. The top card of
|
|
the stock also is available to be played on foundations or
|
|
built on tableau piles. After the stock is exhausted,
|
|
tableau spaces may be filled from the talon and the player may
|
|
keep them open until he wishes to use them.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Cards are dealt from the hand to the talon by threes
|
|
and this repeats until there are no more cards in the hand
|
|
or the player quits. To have cards dealt onto the talon the
|
|
player types
|
|
.B ht
|
|
for his move. Foundation base cards are
|
|
also automatically moved to the foundation when they become
|
|
available.

Once you understand the rules,

.B canfieldtool
|
|
is self-explanatory.

|
The rules for betting are somewhat less strict than
|
|
those used in the official version of the game.
|
|
The initial deal costs $13.
|
|
You may quit at this point or inspect the game.
|
|
Inspection costs $13 and allows you to make as many
|
|
moves as is possible without moving any cards from your hand
|
|
to the talon.
|
|
(The initial deal places three cards on the talon;
|
|
if all these cards are used,
|
|
three more are made available.)
|
|
Finally, if the game seems interesting,
|
|
you must pay the final installment of $26.
|
|
At this point you are
|
|
credited at the rate of $5 for each card on the foundation;
|
|
as the game progresses you are credited with $5 for each
|
|
card that is moved to the foundation.
|
|
Each run through the hand after the first costs $5.
|
|
The card counting feature
|
|
costs $1 for each unknown card that is identified.
|
|
If the information is toggled on,
|
|
you are only charged for cards
|
|
that became visible since it was last turned on.
|
|
Thus the maximum cost of information is $34.
|
|
Playing time is charged at a rate of $1 per minute.
|
|
If the
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
flag is specified,
|
|
it prints out the canfield accounts for all users that have
|
|
played the game since the database was set up.
