+Lieutenant skat (from German <foreignphrase
+lang="de">Offiziersskat</foreignphrase>) is a card game for two
+players. It is roughly played according to the rules of
+<firstterm>Skat</firstterm> but with only two players and simplified
+rules.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Every player has a set of cards in front of him/her, half of them
+covered and half of them open. Both players try to win more than 60 of
+the 120 possible points. After 16 moves all cards are played and the
+game ends.

+<para>
+The game has a randomly chosen trump card. It is shown as a small suit
+symbol in the upper right corner of the score field. All four Jacks are
+also counted as trumps and do <emphasis>not</emphasis> belong to their
+suits. So if <emphasis>heart</emphasis> is trump all seven hearts as
+well as all four Jacks count as trumps, making 11 trumps.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+The Jack of clubs does not count as <emphasis>club</emphasis> but as
+trump.

+</note>
+
+<para>
+A special trump is the <firstterm>Grand</firstterm>. In this game no
+suit is trump and only the four Jacks count as trump. In the game this
+is indicated by the symbol of the Jack's head.
+</para>

+<para>
+Every player owns 16 cards. 8 of them covered 8 of them open. The start
+player can play any of his/her open cards.

+He/she has to play one of this suit then. The player with
+the higher card (see table below) wins both cards.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+The second player does not have a card of the played suit.
+He/she can now play any other card. If it is a trump the

+If there is still a covered card below a played card it will be uncovered

+<title>Remote connections</title>
+
+<para>
+It is possible to play the game over a network connection with another
+computer. To do so both players on both computers have to select one
+color played by the local player and the other by the remote player. Who
+chooses which side does not matter. It even does not matter if both
+choose to play the same player as this will automatically be
+interchanged by the game.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+One of the computers will act as game server. Only this one can start a
+new network game. Also all its game data will be transfered to the
+client computer. You can force your computer to be server if you do not
+supply a hostname in the network dialog. This dialog pops up if you
+start a new network game. As a client you enter the hostname of the
+machine on which the server is running. The port does not usually need to be
+changed, but you can enter any valid port number there.
