Rules for each game are available in pull-down menus plus there is a rule book included which also has the history of the games. You can alter various play options, choose the background music and texture, and your icon's shadow shape. The opponents range from an annoying lawyer to an alien that morphs into Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. You can choose the A.I. level of your opponents - from beginner, to intermediate, to expert.
