 Bidding
 -------

     "WCS Rook 'Em" is similar to the card game of "Rook".  All of the cards
     are dealt to you and your computer opponent with 5 cards being saved
     for the "Junk pile".  You start each game by bidding against the computer
     to see who gets the "Junk pile" and the right to name trumps.  The
     computer will start the bid at 70 each time.

     You are bidding on how many points you think you can get during the
     game.  Cards are numbered 4 - 14 in 4 different colors.  And there
     is 1 "Ultimate" card, the Rook.  Points are as follows:

                5   -  5 points
               10   - 10 points
               14   - 10 points
               Rook - 20 points

     You should use caution in bidding!  If you win the bidding and
     you don't make what you bid, you lose that number of points!

     Whoever wins the bidding takes the "Junk pile" and has the option to
     switch some of the cards in their hand with the "Junk pile".
     The winner of the bidding also gets to name the color of trumps.
     Trumps is what you play when you are out of the color being played.
     Trumps will beat anything except the Rook.

Game Play
---------
     Whoever won the bidding plays first.
     1.  If you are starting, you can play anything.
     2.  If you are playing after he computer you must play the same color.
         Highest number wins
     3.  If you don't have that color then you must play whatever color was
         called trumps.  Trump wins
     4.  If you don't have the color or the trump color then you can play
         anything.  You lose this round.
     5.  The "Ultimate" Rook card can be played at any time through out
         the game.  The Rook always wins.
     6.  Whoever wins the round gets to start the next round.  You continue
         until all cards are played.
     7.  Whoever wins the last round gets the cards discarded in the "Junk
         pile" at the beginning of the game.

Strategy
--------
Here are a few tips of strategy to help you get started.

     1.  If you take the bid, trade with the "Junk pile" so you either have
         high number cards in each color or possibly eliminate a color
         altogether.
     2.  Save the Rook to play on points, not just a plain card.
     3.  Maybe save the Rook to get the last hand so you get the "Junk pile"
         You never know points may be in there...maybe not.
