       P)lay card - To play a card from your hand
       D)iscard - To discard a card from your hand
       C)oup Fourre - To play a safety on a hazard on your battle pile

  Parts of the Game
  -----------------
  There are four different types of cards in the game.
    Hazards - Out of gas, Flat Tire, Accident, Speed Limit, Stop
    Remedies - Gasoline, Spare Tire, Repairs, End of Limit, Roll
    Safeties - Extra Tank, Puncture Proof, Driving Ace, Right of Way
    Distance - 200, 100 75, 50, 25 miles

  The board is laid out as follows:
    Battle Pile : This is where you play hazards (except for speed limits)
                  on the computers pile, and remedies on your pile.  To
                  play a distance card, you must have a roll card on top
                  of your battle pile.
    Speed Pile  : This is where you play speed limits (on the computers
                  pile), and end of limits (on your pile)
    Safety      : This is where you play any safety cards you have.  Once
                  you play a safety card, the computer cannot play the
                  associated hazard card.
    Distance Pile-You cannot see these stacks, but you do see the total
                  distance you have travelled under Total Miles.

  The object of the game is to "travel" 1000 miles before the computer does.
  To play miles, you must have a Roll card on the top of your battle pile.
  If you have a speed limit on your speed pile, you cannot travel any
  further than 50 miles in a trip.

  During each turn, you will draw a card from the pile, and then either
  P)lay, D)iscard, or C)oup Fourre a card.  To start, you need to play a
  Roll card, then you can play distance cards as long as you have a roll
  card on top of your battle pile.

  If you have played all your games for the day, you will be asked if you
  want to view the high scores.  Then you will be returned to the BBS.


  Scoring
  -------
  For each game, you are scored as follows:

  Miles Played    : As shown
  Safeties Played : 100 for each safety played
  Coup Fourees    : 300 for each safety that was coup foureed
  Trip Completed  : 400 points for completing the trip
  Safe Trip       : 300 points if no 200 mile cards were played
  All safeties    : 300 points if you play all 4 safeties
