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 available +to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces. +.PP +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. +.PP +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. +.PP +The command 'c' causes +.I canfield +to maintain card counting statistics +on the bottom of the screen. +When properly used this can greatly increase one's chances of +winning. +.PP +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 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. +.PP +With no arguments, the program +.I 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 +.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. +.SH FILES +/usr/games/canfield the game itself +.br +/usr/games/cfscores the database printer +.br +/usr/games/lib/cfscores the database of scores +.SH BUGS +It is impossible to cheat. +.SH AUTHORS +Originally written: Steve Levine +.br +Further random hacking by: Steve Feldman, Kirk McKusick, +Mikey Olson, and Eric Allman. |
