     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.
