<A NAME="HowTo"><H3>How to Play King's Corners</H3>
The goal of King's Corners is to put all the face cards into their assigned slots around
the edges of a square, with the Kings in the corners.
<p>
Push the <b>New Game</b> button to start a new game. Tap the deck to deal the first
card. Then tap any square on the playing board to place the card in that
position. The next card in the deck will then be dealt.
<p>
You must fill all 16 slots on the playing board. If the card
you're playing is not a face card, you can play it anywhere. If it is a King, however,
it must be played in a corner (positions marked with a 'K'). Queens must be played in
the middle positions of the top or bottom rows (marked with a 'Q'), and Jacks
must be played in the middle positions of the side columns (marked with a 'J').
<p>
After you've filled all 16 slots, you must remove cards from the board to make
room for more cards. You may remove only 10s and pairs of cards which add up to 10.
Remove the 10s by tapping on them with the pen. To remove a pair of cards that
add up to 10, tap one after the other.
<p>
When you've removed all the cards you can, tap the deck again to deal the next card.
Again, deal out cards until you fill all 16 slots. Repeat
filling up the slots and removing cards that add up to ten.
If you can play all the face cards to their assigned slots you win the game (even
if there are still cards left in the pack). However,
if you turn up a face card when there is no open position for it, or if you fill up
all the slots and no cards can be removed (because no cards add up to ten), then you
have lost.
<p>
The <b>Undo</b> button is available only when removing cards that add up to
ten. <b>Options</b> allows you to disable or enable the sounds and messages,
and select a card deck design. The <b>Statistics</b> button lets you check
your track record over multiple games.
<h4>Tips and Strategies</h4>
Although there is a great deal of luck involved, you can improve your chances
to win by placing cards to maximize the chance of an open position where you'll
need it.
