"Oxen is a multiplayer card game for up to 10 players.\n\n"
" HOW TO START (see also 'oxen -h'):\n\n"
" One player has to host the game and needs to specify '-l' to start\n"
" a server on the specified port ('-p port', default is 12345).\n"
" It will wait for the specified number of clients ('-n num') to connect\n"
" before starting the game. After the server is listening, a local client\n"
" will automatically be started and connected to it.\n"
" When it is running, other players can connect to it by specifying its\n"
" hostname or IP address ('-s address') and port number (if different to\n"
" default).\n"
" Players can set their nickname with '-u name' or by setting the USER\n"
" environment variable.\n\n"
" HOW TO PLAY:\n\n"
" Oxen is inspired by the card game \"6 nimmt!\".\n"
" It consists of a main stack with cards numbered from 1 to 104 and of 4 open\n"
" table stacks that grow every round, but must not get larger than 5 cards.\n"
" At the beginning of the game the main stack is shuffled and 4 cards are\n"
" drawn which start 4 new table stacks. Then the first round starts.\n"
" In every round each player is dealt 10 cards (or less if there are not\n"
" enough cards in the main stack). Every player chooses one card he wants\n"
" to put on a table stack. When every player has selected their card, they\n"
" are revealed to the others and they will be placed on table stack depending\n"
" on their value (in ascending order, smallest card will be placed first).\n"
" A card has to be placed on a stack where the upmost card is lower than\n"
" itself. If there are multiple stacks with lower top cards, the one with\n"
" the smallest difference to the selected card has to be used. If a stack\n"
" contains 6 cards after placing a card on it, the player who chose the card\n"
" has to take the stack without the top card and add them to his score\n"
" (therefore the name \"6 nimmt\").\n"
" If a card can not be placed on any table stack (because it is lower than\n"
" the top cards of all stacks), the player can create a new stack with his\n"
" chosen card by selecting a table stack and add its cards to his score.\n"
" After placing the cards of all players, the next turn begins where the\n"
" players select their cards.\n"
" When no hand cards are left, new cards are dealt from the main stack.\n"
" The game ends when no more cards can be dealt to all players from the\n"
" main stack. The player with the lowest score (negative points) will win\n"
