- 2 PLAYING CARDZ
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Cardz is based around the game of Klondike. For those of you unfamiliar
- with Klondike a brief explanation of how to play the game follows.
- When you first play there are seven rows of cards located along the top
- of the screen. In the first row lies one card, in the second two and so on,
- until in the last row there are seven. You can only see the front side of
- the first card in the row. The remainder of the cards are located in the
- lower left corner of the screen in what is referred to as the stock pile.
- To play you must place a card of one colour on a card of the other colour,
- you must also follow in numerical sequence e.g. You can put a red two, on a
- black three. Cards can be taken from the stock pile or another column.
- Click on the stock pile to rotate the cards in the stock and obtain
- a new card on top of the stock. Dependent of the level of play the
- stock turns with one or three cards. Situated on the lower right of the
- screen are the four ace places. Here you may place any of the aces,
- followed by a two, three and so on. Cards placed on the ace places must be
- of the same suit. Kings may be placed on any empty place in the upper
- screen. To win the game all cards must be placed in the correct Ace place
- and the rest of the screen empty.

- 5 OTHER CARDZSETS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Cardz uses MODIFIED Klondike AGA cardsets. These sets are converted from
- AGA ( very often HAM8 ) images and reduced to 16 colours to retain
- compatibility with the entire Amiga range. Using dithering techniques
- quality loss is kept to an absolute minimum. For details of other
- Cardzsets please read the File MORE_CARDZ found on the disk or from
- the main menu.
