NAME

       canfield, cfscores - the solitaire card game canfield

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/games/canfield
       /usr/games/cfscores

DESCRIPTION

       If  you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In 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  avail-
       able to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.

       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.

       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 'ht' for his move. Foundation base cards are also automatically moved to the foundation
       when they become available.

       The command 'c' causes canfield to maintain card counting statistics on the bottom of the screen.  When	properly  used	this  can  greatly
       increase one's chances of winning.

       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 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 avail-
       able.)  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 infor-
       mation 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.

       With no arguments, the program cfscores prints out the current status of your canfield account.	If a user name is specified, it prints out
       the  status of their canfield account.  If the -a flag is specified, it prints out the canfield accounts for all users that have played the
       game since the database was set up.
