    RelationShips is a strategy game in which each player tries to outwit the 
 other and be the first to get five ships or boats outfitted. 

    One of the players outfits boats with smokestacks and the other puts cannons 
 on ships.        

    When it's your turn to play, all you have to do is   pick one of the 
 squares on the board.  Press the letter that corresponds to the square you 
 want, or use your mouse to click on it. 

    Play against the computer, but be prepared for a broadside. 

    The game begins in a human vs. computer mode.  The computer is set to its 
 simplest setting.  To begin, just enter a letter from A to P. 

    If the square you pick is empty, one of your boats will be put in it.  If 
 the square has a boat, the boat will get more smokestacks.  If the boat is 
 touching any other boats like it, it will get even more stacks.  If it's next 
 to any ships, however, it won't get as many. As soon as you get five boats 
 with four smokestacks, each, you win. 

    For example, if you choose the square on the left below, you will get two 
  ÚÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄ¿  smoke stacks, one for choosing the square and one ÚÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄ¿
  ³ X +³boat³  because it is next to a square with another boat  ³boat³+ X ³
  ÀÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÙ  in it.  If you choose the square in the center on ÀÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÍÄ´
 the right, you will only add a single smoke stack since the ship     ³ship³
 below  cancels the boat on the left.                                 ÀÄÄÄÄÙ
