NAME
       KardsGT - A card game suite.

SYNOPSIS
       kardsgt [ options ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       kardsgt is a card game programme that has many of your favourite card
       games. Each game comes with an exhaustive manual on how to play. In
       addition to the many wonderful games, we also have amazing characters
       to play against. Each character has their own history and sense of
       play, giving you a fun challenge as you spend your time.

       KardsGT has a ranking system for both the human players and the
       computer players. The human players rank is based on how many games
       they win over time.  Computer players have their ranks based on the
       skill level approximation of their game play strategies.

       KardsGT uses a simple interface for playing the games. To play a card,
       simply drag the card you want to play to the place you need to play
       your card, or double-click on the card you want to play. Additionally
       you can right click and sort your cards in a predefined mannor. You can
       sort by rank, by suit, or by random. If this doesn't fit with your
       needs you can click and drag your cards into the position you want them
       to be in your hand.

       The image of the players indicate not just their mood but also
       facilitates communication with you. For example, if it is a player's
       turn the letter "T" appears in the upper-left of the players picture.
       If it is not the player's turn and the player is the dealer then the
       letter "D" is displayed, else the player's skill ranking number is
       displayed instead.

       Some games have buttons in them, clicking on them will activate the
       action they describe. For example, spades has a contract button, this
       button will tell you how many tricks the team have contracted. In the
       centre of the interface you'll see the playing area. This playing area
       is where you'll drag the card you wish to play. The play area also
       allows you to see the last cards played until the next card is played.
       KardsGT comes with a few standard images, the image for you and the
       images for each of the cards. If you would like to change any of the
       images you can by selecting the configure option under the settings
       menu. From there you can point to a directory that has card images
       (currently only in an xpm file format), the image used for the back of
       the card, or even use the default image for a female player or select
       an image of your choosing.
