ways once it is running:

By selecting the F1 key from the keyboard.
The Online Help contains information that explains all aspects of
this game and describes how to use all its functionality. This
should be the user's main source of help.
Once the Help window is displayed, the buttons near the top help you
find the information you need. The Contents button displays a list
of Help topics that Sage Concentration provides. The Search button
displays a dialog box where you specify a topic to search for. The
Back button displays the previously viewed topic. The History

item that was created by the setup executable. After doing this,
Sage Concentration will begin execution by displaying the
introduction screen. To stop this introduction and go to the main
screen simply click the left mouse button.
Rules of the Game
Object of the Game
The object of the game is to score more points than your opponent by
selecting pairs of cards that match. There is some luck involved in
this game, but in order to beat your opponent consistently you need
to remember more of the cards that where turned up previously than
he does.
How points are scored
Each time you select a pair of cards that match on your turn you are
rewarded one point.
How to play
The first step to begin play is to select the opponent that you want
to play against. You have the option of playing againt the computer
set at one of two levels or you can play against another human
player. The players can be set on the Players Dialog Box. You also
have some controll over some of the parameters of the game such as
the game speed and sound effects. These can be set on the Options
Dialog Box. Once the players and the game options are set, start
the game by selecting the Start entry under the Game menu item. You
can also simply select the F2 key on your keyboard. Once this is
done all 52 cards will be dealt and displayed face-down on the
screen. The players name whose turn it is will be highlighted in
red at the top of the screen. On your turn, select two cards which
you think match (i.e. a pair of 7s, Queens, etc.) one at a time by
positioning the mouse over the card and clicking the left button.
If the cards that you chose match you will be rewarded one point and
it will remain your turn. If the cards do not match, your turn will
be over and play continues with the other player. When it is the
computers turn, an animated hand will appear and make its selections.
Game over
When all 52 cards have been matched the game is over. The winner is
the player who has scored the most points.
