+.Nm cfscores
+.Op Fl a
+.Op Ar user
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+If you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended
+that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In
+Canfield, tableau cards may be built on each other downward
+in alternate colors. An entire pile must be moved as a unit
+in building. Top cards of the piles are available
+to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.
+.Pp
+Spaces must be filled from the stock. The top card of
+the stock also is available to be played on foundations or
+built on tableau piles. After the stock is exhausted,
+tableau spaces may be filled from the talon and the player may
+keep them open until he wishes to use them.
+.Pp
+Cards are dealt from the hand to the talon by threes
+and this repeats until there are no more cards in the hand
+or the player quits.
+To have cards dealt onto the talon the player types
+.Sq Ic ht
+for his move.
+Foundation base cards are also automatically moved to the foundation
+when they become available.
+.Pp
+The command
+.Sq Ic c
+causes
+.Nm
+to maintain card counting statistics on the bottom of the screen.
+When properly used this can greatly increase one's chances of winning.
+.Pp
+The rules for betting are somewhat less strict than
+those used in the official version of the game.
+The initial deal costs $13.
+You may quit at this point or inspect the game.
+Inspection costs $13 and allows you to make as many
+moves as possible without moving any cards from your hand to the talon.
+(The initial deal places three cards on the talon;
+if all these cards are used, three more are made available.)
+Finally, if the game seems interesting,
+you must pay the final installment of $26.
+At this point you are
+credited at the rate of $5 for each card on the foundation;
+as the game progresses you are credited with $5 for each
+card that is moved to the foundation.
+Each run through the hand after the first costs $5.
+The card counting feature
+costs $1 for each unknown card that is identified.
+If the information is toggled on, you are only charged for cards
+that became visible since it was last turned on.
+Thus the maximum cost of information is $34.
+Playing time is charged at a rate of $1 per minute.
+.Pp
+With no arguments, the program
+.Nm cfscores
+prints out the current status of your canfield account.
+If a
+.Ar user
+name is specified, it prints out the status of their canfield account.
+If the
+.Fl a
+flag is specified,
+it prints out the canfield accounts for all users that have
+played the game since the database was set up.
