OPTIONS
       AisleRiot accepts the following options, besides the  usual  Gtk+/GNOME
       switches:

       -v, --variation=NAME
              Select the game to play

       --display=DISPLAY
              X display to use

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  possi-
       ble.  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.  How-
       ever, it may take a while to get used to.

       Some games have options to change the way the game is played. For exam-
       ple 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  actu-
       ally  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.
