<title>Playing <application>AisleRiot</application></title>
<para>Use the mouse to move cards. Click a card and drag it somewhere. Release the mouse button to deposit the card.</para>
<para>Alternatively, you can move a card by clicking once to pick it up and clicking again to place it. To enable this way of moving cards, choose <menuchoice><guimenu>Control</guimenu><guimenuitem>Click to move</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. 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.</para>
<para>If a card can be moved to the foundations, 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.</para>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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 times. Watch for the <guilabel>Redeals Left</guilabel> message at the bottom of the window.</para>
<para>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.</para>
<para>Some games have options to change the way the game is played. For example Canfield 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.</para>
<para>Statistics on how well you have done at a particular game are available by selecting <guimenuitem>Statistics</guimenuitem> from the <guimenu>Game</guimenu> 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.</para>
