USAGE
This text is taken verbatim from the AisleRiot Manual V2.12.
Moving the cards is reasonably obvious. Assuming you have a right-handed mouse, left-click on a card and
drag it somewhere. Release the mouse button to deposit the card.
If a card can be moved to the foundation(s), you do not need to drag it. You can double-click on it and
it will move. If a sequence of cards can be moved to the foundations, you can generally move the sequence
as one move.
Double clicking a card will send it to a foundation, if that is possible. This is useful for cleaning up
large numbers of cards at the end of a successful game.
In games which have a stock pile you can redeal it by clicking on the empty space where it was. Be warned
that some games only let you do this a limited number of time. Watch for the Redeals Left message at the
bottom of the window.
A useful tip to know is that right-clicking on a face-up card which is partially obscured by a card laid
over it will raise it so that you can see what it is.
There is an alternative way to move cards. By selecting Click to move from the Control menu you can click
once to pick up a card and then click again to place it. This can be faster than dragging and will be
easier on your hand since you don't have to hold the mouse down. However, it may take a while to get used
to.
Some games have options to change the way the game is played. For example Klondike can be played with
either single card deals or three-card deals. In these games there is a separate menu with the game's
name. You can only change the rules of the game at the beginning of the game -- the menu will be inactive
during the game.
Statistics on how well you have done at a particular game are available by selecting Statistics from the
Game menu. Only games where you actually start moving cards are counted. The statistics are here for your
own enjoyment, there are numerous ways to cheat and it is unwise to make comparisons.
