- 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.
