INSTRUCTIONS:

***TO EXIT, HIT FUNCTION KEY F7, THEN THE Y KEY.
***TO DISPLAY THESE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE PROGRAM, HIT FUNCTION KEY F5.

TOMMY'S SEX TAKES <TM> IS A FUN CARD GAME FOR A PARTY FOR 2-10 PLAYERS.  WITH
ONLY A FEW PLAYERS IT'S A GREAT GAME OF STRATEGY, BUT WITH A LOT OF PLAYERS IT
BECOMES A GAME OF PURE LUCK, SO WE'LL SKIP THAT (HA HA).

PLAYERS:
2 TO 3.  THE COMPUTER CAN BE A PLAYER; TYPE "COMPUTER" FOR PLAYER NAME.
*NOTE: UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE VERSIONS ARE LIMITED TO 2 PLAYERS.
(THEORETICALLY UP TO 10 COULD PLAY BUT THAT'S ALL WE COULD FIT ON THE SCREEN,
SORRY).

THE DECK:
THE DECK CONSISTS OF 105 CARDS NUMBERED FROM 1 TO 105.
EACH CARD CONTAINS FROM 1 TO 7 PIPS, DIFFERENT WITH EVERY NEW DECK.

INITIAL PLAYER:
IS CHOSEN BY THE COMPUTER AFTER FLIPPING A COIN IN ITS INSCRUITABLE CIRCUITS.

THE DEAL:
10 CARDS ARE DEALT TO EACH PLAYER, FACEUP.  4 MORE ARE DEALT FACEUP TO BEGIN 4
COLUMNS OF OVERLAPPING CARDS.

NOTE: IN 2-PLAYER MODE WITH THE COMPUTER PLAYING ONE HAND THE CARDS WILL
OPTIONALLY BE DEALT FACE DOWN FOR MORE STRATEGIC MANEUVERING.

PLAY:
ALL PLAYERS SELECT ONE CARD TO PLAY, AND REVEAL THEIR CHOICES SIMULTANEOUSLY.

STARTING WITH THE LOWEST NUMBER, EACH CARD IS ADDED TO THE TOPMOST CARD OF ONE
OF THE COLUMNS ON THE TABLE, BUT ONLY TO THE NEAREST LOWER NUMBER AMONG THOSE
CARDS, AND IT BECOMES THE NEW HIGH CARD IN ITS COLUMN.  IF A PLAYED CARD IS
LOWER THAN ALL THE TOP CARDS AND THUS CAN'T BE PLACED, ITS OWNER STARTS A NEW
COLUMN WITH THAT CARD.  WHOEVER PLAYS THE SIXTH CARD IN A COLUMN MUST TAKE THAT
COLUMN OF FIVE: THE 6TH CARD THEN STARTS A NEW COLUMN... HENCE THE NAME OF THE
GAME, IN GERMAN, SEX NIMMT, OR 6 TAKES -- YOU DIDN'T HAVE A DIRTY MIND DID YOU?
(HA HA)  (OK, IT'S SECHS NOT SEX, WE AMERICANIZED IT TO HELP IN THE MARKETING,
SINCE SEX SELLS - HA HA).

ALTHOUGH THERE IS ROOM ONSCREEN FOR 19 COLUMNS, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL RULE
THAT IF A PLAYER IS TRYING TO START A 7TH COLUMN WITH A CARD, HE SCORES THAT
CARD'S PIPS.  IN OTHER WORDS, 6 COLUMNS MAX.

Y/N QUESTIONS:
IF THE COMPUTER ASKS YOU A QUESTION ENDING WITH Y/N, JUST HIT Y OR N ON THE
KEYBOARD TO ANSWER IT, OR USE THE MOUSE AND POINT AT THE Y OR N IN THE
QUESTION AND CLICK.

TO ENTER YOUR CARD:
USE THE MOUSE TO POINT AND CLICK AT THE DESIRED CARD.  OR USE THE KEYBOARD TO
ENTER THE CARD NUMBER, 1...9, 0 FOR 10.  NOTE THAT THE KEYBOARD DOES NOT ECHO
YOUR CHOICE, SO THAT ALL CARDS CAN BE PLAYED SIMULTANEOUSLY; OF COURSE THE IDEA
IS THAT THE OTHERS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK WHILE THE KEY IS BEING PRESSED.

GAME:
THE PIPS ON TAKEN CARDS ARE TALLIED AT THE END OF EACH ROUND, AND WHEN ONE OR
MORE PLAYERS HAS 66 PIPS THE GAME ENDS AND IS WON BY THE PLAYER WITH THE LOWEST
SCORE.  THE WINNER IS THEN PAID A NUMBER OF CHIPS EQUAL TO THE DIFFERENCE IN
PIPS WITH EACH PLAYER INDIVIDUALLY.  IN THE CASE OF 2 OR MORE PLAYERS TIEING
WITH LOWEST SCORE, ANOTHER ROUND IS PLAYED, AND AGAIN UNTIL THERE IS A SINGLE
WINNER.

*NOTE: UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE VERSIONS EXIT AFTER ONE GAME.  TO PLAY ANOTHER
GAME YOU HAVE TO RESTART THE PROGRAM.  SORRY BUT OUR ACCOUNTANTS MADE US DO
THIS TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO PURCHASE THE PROGRAM AFTER THEY SAW A SCREENING OF
"JERRY MAGUIRE" ( HA HA ).

BANK:
THE COMPUTER ACTS AS BANKER, AND CAN MAINTAIN UP TO 100 ACCOUNTS ON DISK FILE
"SEXTAKES.SCR."

AT GAME START THE PLAYERS ENTER THEIR NAMES AND THEIR ACCOUNTS ARE LOOKED UP;
IF THEY DON'T HAVE ONE, ONE IS STARTED WITH 100 CHIPS.  THIS WAY DIFFERENT
PLAYERS CAN DROP IN OR LEAVE THE GAME BETWEEN ROUNDS.

OPTIONS:
FUNCTION KEY F3 POPS-UP AN OPTIONS MENU.  YOU CAN CHANGE THE GAME POINT FROM
66 TO ANYTHING FROM 1 TO 999; CHANGE THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF COLUMNS FROM 6 TO
ANYTHING UP TO 19; AND CHANGE THE NUMBER OF COLUMNS INITIALLY DEALT FROM 4 TO
ANYTHING FROM 2 TO MAX COLUMNS.  YOU CAN ALSO SET THE REPLAY HAND OPTION,
AND THE OPEN HANDS OPTION (2-PLAYER MODE ONLY).

ABORTING A GAME:
ANY KEYBOARD PLAYER MAY REQUEST THE GAME TO BE ABORTED AND A NEW ONE STARTED
WHEN IT IS HIS TURN TO PLAY BY TYPING "Q" OR "X".  NOTE THAT ALL PLAYERS MUST
AGREE TO THIS.
