	  <entry>Seven piles. Four rows, the first row is face down, the second row is face up, the third row is face down and the fourth and final row is face up. Essentially Athena is the same as Canfield only the opening layout is different. Tableau can be built down in alternating colours. Builds of cards can be moved. Empty piles can only be filled by Kings or group of cards starting with a King.</entry>

  <sect2><title>Goal</title>
  <para>Move all cards to the Foundation piles.</para>
  </sect2>
  <sect2><title>Rules</title>
  <para>Cards in the Tableau are built down by alternating colour. Builds of cards can be moved. An empty pile in the Tableau can be filled with a King or a group of cards with a King on the bottom.</para>
  <para>Cards are flipped from the Stock to the Waste individually. Top card in Waste is in play. When Stock is empty, move all cards in Waste back to the Stock, maintaining order. You can go through the deck three times.</para>
  <para>Foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King. Cards in Foundations are still in play. Double-clicking on a card will move it to the appropriate Foundation pile if such a move is possible.</para>

<!-- TODO 
  <sect2><title>Options</title>
  <para>
    Three card deals: If checked, the Stock will deal three each time.
    Otherwise, the Stock will deal singly into the Waste.
  </para>
  <para>
    King Only: If checked empty space may be filled with Kings or 
    groups of cards starting with a King only.

  <sect2><title>Scoring</title>
  <para>Each card in the Foundation piles scores one point.</para>
  <para>Maximum possible score: 52</para>
  </sect2>
  <sect2><title>Strategy</title>
  <para>Don't give up the ship! Try brute force methods when the game seems over. Sometimes a combination of using cards already in the Foundation and rearranging sequences will free up some needed cards.</para>
