NAME
ishido - ancient solitare game of matching stone.
SYNOPSIS
ishido [size-options]
DESCRIPTION
Ishido is a (questionably) ancient solitare game of matching stone
tiles. There is a on-line rule screen in the game.
RUNNING
Type 'ishido -h' for a list of options.
STRATEGY
The best way to get high scores is to work on setting up four-way
matches and ignore all else. The first two to concentrate on are the
ones you can build around the middle pieces. Use the corner pieces
for the next four four-way matches. My office mate can regularly get
4-6 four-way matches, and has gotten as many as eight.
