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