 ISHIDO(l)                                                         ISHIDO(l)

 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.
