This disk contains three Solitaire card games, which are not the usual ones
that most people play. To access them, just type the filename of the one you
would like to play and hit the ENTER key.
 
          1) BLOCK11     This game requires that you pair up INDEX cards
                         to total eleven. There are no PICTURE cards in
                         the deck, but in their stead there are 12 BLOCK
                         cards. The computer deals out three rows of cards
                         with four cards in each row, forming 12 piles.
                         The game is won if all the cards are used before
                         all the twelve piles are blocked. There are two
                         versions of the game. In the hard version, the
                         chances of winning are 1 in 50, and the easy
                         version are 1 in 3.
 
          2) EVEN-OUT    In this game, a stripped deck of cards is used,
                         which means that all the PICTURE cards have been
                         removed, leaving just forty cards to play with.
                         This is a fast, fun game, requiring only that
                         you have the ability to add up to twenty. The
                         chances of winning are 1 in 5.
 
          3) ELEVENS     This game uses a full deck of cards which the
                         computer deals out in three rows of three cards
                         each. The object is to pair up the INDEX cards
                         to total eleven, and the PICTURE cards into
                         groups of three (Jack, Queen, and King). The
                         chances of winning are 1 in 4.
