+
+<para>The aim of the game is to remove all tiles from the board. Only two
+matching tiles can be removed at a time. Two tiles can only be removed if they
+can be connected with a maximum of three connected lines. Lines can be
+horizontal or vertical, but not diagonal. </para>
+
+<para>You don't have to draw the lines by yourself, the game does this for
+you. Just mark two matching tiles on the board, if they can be connected with a
+maximum of three lines, the lines will be drawn and the tiles are
+removed. </para>
+
+<para>Remember that lines only may cross the empty border. If you are stuck, you
+can use the Hint feature to find two tiles which may be removed.  Clicking a
+tile with the &RMB; will show you all corresponding tiles, no matter if they are
+removable at the moment or not.</para>
+
+<para>The game is over when no moves are possible. This could be due to 
+clearing all the tiles from the field or reaching a point in the game 
+where no two matching tiles can be connected by three lines.  
+Some games are unsolvable, if you would like to avoid unsolvable 
+games uncheck the option <guilabel>Allow unsolvable
+games</guilabel> in the configuration dialog.</para>
+
+<para>The resulting score <quote>S</quote> is calculated using the
+following formula, assuming that <quote>n</quote> represents the
+number of tiles present when the game started and <quote>t</quote>
+standing for the time (in seconds) it took to clear the
+field:</para>

+
+<para>If you played with the <guilabel>Gravity</guilabel> setting enabled, this score
+will additionally get multiplied by two.</para>
