- HOW TO PLAY
- -----------
-
- CRAZY.BAS is an MBASIC game program in which you play against the com-
- puter. To start, you are both dealt seven cards.
-
- When asked which card you wish to play, you must follow SUIT or FACE
- VALUE of the last card played: (Example: Clubs on Clubs, 9 on 9, etc.)
- Input as follows:
-
- CARD,SUIT <cr> (For example: 9,H) or CARD, <cr> for SAME SUIT
- ----^---- ----^
-
- You may play an EIGHT at ANY TIME during the game (regardless of suit
- showing) to change the suit to one of your choosing.
- ~~~~~~
-
- If you are unable or unwilling to play, you will be given another card
- from the Draw stack. If all cards have been drawn, any person able to play
- must do so. At the end of the game, any player holding cards has points
- scored against him, as follows:
-
- EIGHTS=50, J Q K=10, OTHER CARDS=Face Value.
