TROJKA(6)			  Games Manual			       TROJKA(6)

NAME
     TROJKA - a game of skill.

USAGE
     trojka [-s]

DESCRIPTION
     The  name	Trojka	is  derived  from the Russian word "Trojka", which means
     "three", or "triple".

     When you start the game, you can select a level by pressing the correspond-
     ing alphanumeric key. Level 0 is easy, level 9 is hard.  The  aim	of  this
     game  is to control and to place the falling blocks, so that at least three
     blocks horizontally or diagonally, or both, have  matching  patterns.  This
     sequence  is  then  removed, and the above blocks will collapse. The latter
     sequence is repeated as long as there are matching patterns after each col-
     lapsion.  A sequence of three immediate collapsions results in  a	socalled
     "Trojka",	 which	is  rewarded with bonus points.  If you reach the top of
     the screen, the game is finished.

OPTIONS
     -s     Display high-scores.

KEYS
     The falling blocks are controlled using the numeric keypad:

     4,h    left

     6,l    right

     7,k    increase speed

	    gram.
