-
- **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.
