            Gold Mine is a variation of Klondike.  
	    Tableau can be built down in alternating colors.  Groups of
	    cards can be moved.  Empty piles can only be filled by Kings
	    or group of cards starting with a King.

  <sect2>Goal</sect2>
  <para>
    Move all cards to the Foundation piles.
  </para>

  <sect2>Rules</sect2>
  <para>
    Cards in the Tableau are built down by alternating color.  Groups of
    cards can be moved.  An empty pile in the Tableau can be filled with
    any card.  
  </para>
  <para>
    Cards are flipped from the Stock to the Waste three at a time.  Top
    card in Waste is in play.  When Stock is empty, game over.  
    Only one chance to get it right and establish your gold mine.  
  </para>
  <para>
    Foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King.  Cards in
    Foundations are still in play.  Double clicking on a card will move
    it to the appropriate Foundation pile if such a move is possible.
  </para>

  <sect2>Scoring</sect2>
  <para>
    Each card in the Foundation piles scores one point.
  </para>
  <para>
    Maximum possible score:  52
  </para>

  <sect2>Strategy</sect2>
  <para>
    Be careful how you fill the empty foundation piles.  
    With skill it is possible to win Gold Mine most of the time.  
    If at first you do not succeed restart and try again.
