  48 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  49 If you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended
  50 that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In
  51 Canfield, tableau cards may be built on each other downward
  52 in alternate colors. An entire pile must be moved as a unit
  53 in building. Top cards of the piles are available
  54 to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.
  55 .Pp
  56 Spaces must be filled from the stock. The top card of
  57 the stock also is available to be played on foundations or
  58 built on tableau piles. After the stock is exhausted,
  59 tableau spaces may be filled from the talon and the player may
  60 keep them open until he wishes to use them.
  61 .Pp
  62 Cards are dealt from the hand to the talon by threes
  63 and this repeats until there are no more cards in the hand
  64 or the player quits. To have cards dealt onto the talon the
  65 player types
  66 .Sq Ic ht
  67 for his move. Foundation base cards are
  68 also automatically moved to the foundation when they become
  69 available.
  70 .Pp
  71 The command
  72 .Sq Ic c
  73 causes
  74 .Nm
  75 to maintain card counting statistics
  76 on the bottom of the screen.
  77 When properly used this can greatly increase one's chances of
  78 winning.
  79 .Pp
  80 The rules for betting are somewhat less strict than
  81 those used in the official version of the game.
  82 The initial deal costs $13.
  83 You may quit at this point or inspect the game.
  84 Inspection costs $13 and allows you to make as many
  85 moves as possible without moving any cards from your hand
  86 to the talon.
  87 (The initial deal places three cards on the talon;
  88 if all these cards are used,
  89 three more are made available.)
  90 Finally, if the game seems interesting,
  91 you must pay the final installment of $26.
  92 At this point you are
  93 credited at the rate of $5 for each card on the foundation;
  94 as the game progresses you are credited with $5 for each
  95 card that is moved to the foundation.
  96 Each run through the hand after the first costs $5.
  97 The card counting feature
  98 costs $1 for each unknown card that is identified.
  99 If the information is toggled on,
 100 you are only charged for cards
 101 that became visible since it was last turned on.
 102 Thus the maximum cost of information is $34.
 103 Playing time is charged at a rate of $1 per minute.
 104 .Pp
 105 With no arguments, the program
 106 .Nm cfscores
 107 prints out the current status of your canfield account.
 108 If a
 109 .Ar user
 110 name is specified,
 111 it prints out the status of their canfield account.
 112 If the
 113 .Fl a
 114 flag is specified,
 115 it prints out the canfield accounts for all users that have
 116 played the game since the database was set up.
