**1. Getting Started**
**==================**
**a. How to Play Pitty Pat**
**------------------------**
There are many variations of the game of Pitty Pat,
this is one variation.
The game begins with each player being dealt
5 cards. The rest of the card deck is placed
in the center of the screen with one additional
card dealt face up in a seperate heap deck.
The goal of Pitty Pat is to be the first to discard
all of the cards in your hand. You accomplish this
by matching the cards in your hand with the top
card of the heap.
When its your turn, if you have a card in your
hand that matches the top card of the heap, you
can discard that card and a second card. The
second card will then become the new top card of
the heap deck.
If, however, you do not have a card in your hand
that matches the heap card, you will need to
click on the 'deck' to choose a card from it.
The deck card now becomes the top heap card.
If you have a card that matches this card, you can
discard that card plus a second card. If you do not
have a matching card, click on the 'Pass' button and
the next player will take their turn.
Players with two matching cards in their hand, for
example - two Aces, or two Kings, automatically win
after they discard all non-matching cards in their
hand.
Pitty Pat is a betting game in which each player
starts with a certain dollar amount of betting
money. At the left corner of the screen, the
amount of the bet for each game is displayed. This
value can be increased or decreased as the game
progresses.
The game is over when one or more player runs out
of money, making the winner the player with the
most money.
