+<!--synopsis of game-->
+ <para><application>Gnometris</application> comes from the classic falling-block game, <application>Tetris</application>. The goal of the game is to create complete horizontal lines of blocks, which will disappear. The blocks come in seven different shapes made from four blocks each: one straight, two L-shaped, one square, and two S-shaped. The blocks fall from the top center of the screen in a random order. You rotate the blocks and move them across the screen to drop them in complete lines. You score by dropping blocks fast and completing lines. As your score gets higher, you level up and the blocks fall faster.</para>

+ <para>When you have a hand you like or have run out of chances
+ to throw the dice, click on a row corresponding to what you think
+ is your best scoring combination. It is very possible to have
+ a score of zero and if you click on the wrong row, you
+ will be scored accordingly. (Say for example, you get
+ yahtzee -- 5 of a kind -- and click on the large straight row,
+ you will receive a zero in your large straight score).</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>You can only use each combination once, i.e. once you've entered
+ something in a slot, you can't change the score later if you roll a
+ better hand.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>There is one exception to this rule, if you roll a yahtzee a
+ second time you can put it in the yahtzee row again for an extra
+ fifty points. You can keep doing this each time you get another
+ yahtzee. At the end of the game you will be given extra rolls to
+ fill in the other rows. Be warned that if you score zero in your
+ yahtzee row (i.e. you filled that row with something that wasn't
+ a yahtzee) then you can't put a yahtzee in afterward, zero is all
+ you will score.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>There is also a bonus of 35 points if you score a total of
+ 63 points or more in the top six rows.

+ toggle the dice just as if you had clicked them. The key 1
+ corresponds to the first die and so on. Use the usual controls to
+ roll the dice and select a row. i.e. use tab to switch between the
+ roll button and the score area, use the arrow keys to navigate up
+ and down the rows and use space to select.</para>

+ <para>The 63 points needed for the bonus in the upper half
+ corresponds to getting three of each die type in each row. If
+ you score more than three dice in the fives and sixes rows then
+ you can afford to place a bad roll in either the ones row or the
+ twos row and still get the bonus.
+ In the Colors version, you get a bonus of 55 if your upper half total
+ is between 71 and 77, and a bonus of 75 if your upper half total is
+ greater than 77.
+ </para>
+ <para>Don't forget about multiple yahtzees, if you roll a second
+ yahtzee you can also put it in the yahtzee row for even more points.
+ This only applies to the regular game.
