+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>&ksame; is a simple game. It is played by one player, so there is only one
+winner :-) You play for fun and against the high score. It has been inspired by
+SameGame, which is only really famous on the Macintosh. </para>
+
+<para>In 1997 &Stephan.Kulow; and Marcus Kreutzberger wrote <foreignphrase
+lang="de">Probiere</foreignphrase> (a German pun). It was their first attempt to
+write a X11 application. They decided that it would be a good idea to port it to
+&kde;, and here we are.</para>

+<title>Using &ksame;</title>
+
+<para>A very simple premise. There are a bunch of marbles. Get rid of them
+all. ;-)</para>
+
+<para>You can erase same marbles when they are connected vertically or
+horizontally when you click them. If there are pieces over the erased ones,
+they will drop down. If all of the pieces on the vertical line are erased, all
+pieces on the right side will slide to the left.</para>
+
+<para>The score is calculated as follows:</para>
+<para>Subtract 2 from the number of marbles erased, and square the result.</para>
+<para>As an example, if you erase 7 balls, then you get 25 points (7 minus 2 = 5. 5 squared is 25 points).If you erase 8
+balls, then you get 36 points (8 minus 2 = 6. 6 squared is 36 points.</para>
+
+<para>Get as many of the
+same pieces as you can, and then erase them in one click. That way you will get
+a higher score. The game is over when there are no pieces that can be
+erased.</para>
+
+<para>The score will then be decreased according to the number of remaining
+pieces. If you erase all pieces 1,000 bonus points will be added to the final
+score.</para>
