CANFIELD(6)                OpenBSD Reference Manual                CANFIELD(6)

NAME
     canfield, cfscores - the solitaire card game canfield

SYNOPSIS
     canfield
     cfscores [-a] [username]

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 available 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 un-
     til 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.  Founda-
     tion 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 of-
     ficial 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 foun-
     dation; 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.

     With no arguments, the program cfscores prints out the current status of
     your canfield account.  If a username is specified, it prints out the
     status of that user's 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.
