&ShamanIntro01XX=A stranger! Your arrival on our island has angered the Great Volcano!!! You must appease the Volcano by winning 10 Tribal Challenges. In each Challenge, you will play 4 matches of the ancient and revered game of SKIP-BO™ with the islanders. Come! I will teach you how to play.&
&ShamanWelcomeBackXX=Welcome back stranger!
Come with me. You must continue your quest!&

//story tutorial 
&Tutorial01XX=The goal of SKIP-BO™ is to be the first player to play all of your STOCK pile cards. The number above your STOCK pile shows how many STOCK pile cards you have left.&
&Tutorial02XX=BUILDING piles may only be started with a 1 card or a SKIP-BO™ card. Add to BUILDING piles by playing cards from your Hand, DISCARD pile, and STOCK pile.&
&Tutorial03XX=Click and drag your 1 card to create the first BUILDING pile. Once a BUILDING pile is started, a new slot will become available. You can have up to 4 BUILDING piles.&
&Tutorial04XX=Now that you have started a BUILDING pile, you can play additional cards in number sequence up to 12. You have a 2 in your STOCK pile! Play your 2 on top of the 1.&
&Tutorial05XX=Now you have a SKIP-BO™ card in your STOCK pile! SKIP-BO™ cards can be played as any number card. Play your SKIP-BO™ card as a 3 card or start a new BUILDING pile.&
&Tutorial06XX=If you can't play a card, end your turn by placing a card from your hand on a DISCARD pile. You can have up to 4 DISCARD piles, but only the top card on each pile can be played.&
&Tutorial07XX=Now try and get rid of all of your STOCK pile cards before me! Remember, start a BUILDING pile with a 1 or a SKIP-BO™ card, and SKIP-BO™ cards are WILD!&
&SkipXX=Skip&

&CampsiteIntro02XX=Good news! I told the Elders about your SKIP-BO™ prowess and they are excited to see you play! It seems they don't have much challenge any more. If you can prove to them how great you are, I am certain they will help you get home!&
&CampsiteIntro03XX=Each day they will challenge you to 4 matches of SKIP-BO™, as well as a Secret Challenge.

&CampsiteFlowers02XX=Keeper Tiko sends his regards. His apprentices brought you this gift for your campsite.

Are you ready for the last Tribal Challenge? We shall now journey to visit the Tribal Chieftain.&

//History of Skip-Bo Island
&EndGameStory01XX=
Legend tells of a Great, Wandering Turtle of titanic size and girth that traveled the earth, accompanied by a Spirit that lived upon his shell. The friends roamed the earth and its oceans with no land to call home, exploring the world and whiling away the hours playing SKIP-BO™, a game they devised in honor of their eternal friendship.

As time went by, the Spirit grew saddened that he and his friend did not have a home to call their own. The Turtle sensed the Spirit’s inner light diminishing day by day.

One night, the Turtle slipped into a fitful sleep and began to dream of a tremendous volcano that erupted from atop his shell. As lava and fire poured down the sides of the Great Volcano, it began to settle and cool, forming an island the size of the Turtle. When the Turtle awoke, he not only found that he had shrunk many times in size, but also that the island he had envisioned in his dream was a reality.&
&EndGameStory02XX=
The Spirit then awoke and was overcome with joy. The Turtle watched as the Spirit danced across the new island, mystical and beautiful flora springing up where the Spirit tread, mirroring his happiness. Trees and bushes sprang to life, and water burst forth from magical springs buried deep within the ground. Pleased to at last have found a home, the Spirit decided to dwell within the Great Volcano for eternity.

Millennia passed before many strangers -- people from afar -- came to the uninhabited island. The people struggled to survive and eventually split up into many individual tribes. Wary of the strangers, the Volcano Spirit kept silent watch.

Decades went by until one special man was born -- a leader who desired to unify all the tribes of the island. One day that man, Konu, was on the beach when the Volcano Spirit decided to make himself known to him, to teach him the way to unity through the playing of SKIP-BO™, the ancient game of friendship.&
&EndGameStory03XX=
Fearful at first, Konu began to heed to the wisdom of the Volcano Spirit. For several days and nights, they played SKIP-BO™ on the beach. Then, after many defeats, Konu won his first game…

At that moment, a great bolt of lightning struck a massive boulder that rested in the water some distance from the beach. Pieces of giant rock shattered and crumbled into the sea, leaving in their wake the massive form of a titan SKIP-BO™ tiki.

The inhabitants, having heard the tremendous report, hurried to the beach to see what had happened and stood in awe of the tiki.

"People," Konu began. "This is SKIP-BO™! Let me show you the way to unity and friendship!" Great Leader Konu taught the people of the tribes SKIP-BO™, and the way of SKIP-BO™ spread across the island, uniting all the tribes in friendship through the spirit of friendly competition.&
&EndGameStory04XX=
The Volcano Spirit was never to be seen again by any human, but he watches over the islanders from his home in the Great Volcano, protecting them against strangers who may not understand the ways of SKIP-BO™.

And what of the Great, Wandering Turtle, you say? The Great, Wandering Turtle continues to happily roam the oceans, but he frequently returns to the island to visit his friend the Spirit and play SKIP-BO™. The islanders will be forever grateful to the Great, Wandering Turtle who created their island and brought the Volcano Spirit who teaches SKIP-BO™.

Welcome to SKIP-BO: Castaway Caper™! You’ve been stranded on a deserted island...or so you thought! 


Play exciting Adventure mode in which you play SKIP-BO™ to appease the Great Volcano with the help of the friendly islanders! Or play one of three other game modes based on SKIP-BO™, the game that you already know and love!&
&HelpPage02XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">SKIP-BO™ SET-UP</font>
The object of SKIP-BO™ is to be the first player to play all the cards in your STOCK pile by playing cards in numerical order, 1 through 12, on the BUILDING piles. The first player to use up all the cards in his/her STOCK pile wins.

At the beginning of each match, thirty cards are dealt face down in single piles to each player; this is your STOCK pile. The top card on each pile will then be turned face up. 

Each player is then dealt 5 cards face down to make up their hand. 

The remaining cards in the deck are then placed face down to form the DRAW pile.

In the center area of play, up to four BUILDING piles will be created for all players to use during a match. In addition, each player will have in front of him/her up to 4 DISCARD piles.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">Important Note:</font>  BUILDING piles and DISCARD piles are developed through play. No cards are in these areas at the beginning of the game. Also, SKIP-BO™ cards are wild. This is important.&
&HelpPage03XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">FURTHER EXPLANATION OF CARD PILES</font>

<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">1. Stock Pile:</font> Each player has one STOCK pile, with the top card of the pile always turned face up on top. The counter at the top of the STOCK pile indicates how many cards remain in the pile. 

<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">2. Draw Pile:</font> After the deal, the remaining cards are placed face down to the left of the BUILD pile area to form the DRAW pile. 

<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">3. Building Piles:</font> BUILDING piles are created to the right of the DRAW pile. During play, up to four BUILDING piles can be started. When the first card is placed on the first BUILDING pile, a new BUILDING pile slot will be created up to a total of four. Only a 1 or a SKIP-BO™ card can start a BUILDING pile. Each pile is then built up numerically in sequence, 1 through 12. Since SKIP-BO™ cards are wild, they can start a BUILDING pile and can be played as any other number, too. Once a pile of 12 cards has been completed, it is removed, and a new pile can be started in its place.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">4. Discard Pile:</font> During play, each player may build up to four DISCARD piles in front of them. Only the first DISCARD pile is visible at first, but a new DISCARD pile slot will be created after the first discard. You can build up any number of cards in any order in the DISCARD piles, but may only play the top card on any pile.&
&HelpPage04XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">CREATE YOUR AVATAR</font>
The first time you launch the game, you will be prompted to create a profile by selecting a profile name and creating an avatar. You can create additional profiles later via the Main Menu.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">HOW TO PLAY</font>
In SKIP-BO: Castaway Caper™, the logged in player always goes first. You can tell whose turn it is by the lei around the current player’s avatar portrait. If your avatar portrait has the lei indicator around it, it’s your turn to play. 

If you have a SKIP-BO™ card or a number 1 card on top of your STOCK pile or in your hand, you may use it to start a BUILDING pile in the center of the play area. You may then continue by playing another card from your hand or STOCK pile onto a BUILDING pile. If you play all 5 cards from your hand, you will be dealt 5 more cards and can continue playing. If you can’t make a play or just don’t want to, end your turn by discarding one of the cards from your hand onto one of your four DISCARD piles.

On your second and succeeding turns, you will be dealt enough cards to bring your hand back up to 5.You may then add to the BUILDING piles (always in sequential order) by playing the top card from your STOCK pile, DISCARD pile or from your hand. But remember, the winner is the one who plays all the cards in his/her STOCK pile, so it’s best to always use the playable cards from that pile first.&
&HelpPage05XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">GAME MODES</font>
There are four game modes in SKIP-BO: Castaway Caper™: <font color="#00FFFF" size="20">

• Adventure
• Classic SKIP-BO™
• Speed SKIP-BO™
• Team SKIP-BO™</font>

<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">Note:</font>  When you first launch the game, only Adventure mode is available and the other modes are locked.  However, once you have completed the brief SKIP-BO™ tutorial at the beginning of Adventure mode, the remaining game modes will be unlocked.&
&HelpPage06XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">Adventure Mode</font>

You’ve been stranded on an unknown island and there is no way off! What more can possibly happen? Suddenly, the massive volcano across the water from your campsite erupts into flame, and fiery lava begins to gush out of the ancient rupture!

To appease the Great Volcano, you must play the ancient and revered game of SKIP-BO™ against the friendly islanders through a series of 10 Tribal Challenges consisting of 4 SKIP-BO™ matches each.  After each Tribal Challenge is completed, you will receive a special gift for your campsite from your host. 

In Adventure Mode matches, you will play against 1 – 3 opponents.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">TUTORIAL</font>

At the start of your adventure, you will be taken through a quick tutorial on how to play SKIP-BO™. To navigate through the text balloons, click the green arrow at the bottom of each text balloon. If you’re already familiar with the game of SKIP-BO™, click the “SKIP” button to close the tutorial text and play through the short tutorial game.&
&HelpPage07XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">ACHIEVEMENTS</font>

Unlock special awards in Adventure mode by achieving special goals. You can view your achievements and their descriptions by selecting Achievements from the Main Menu or by selecting the Menu button in the lower right-hand corner of the game table screen.  


<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">ISLAND MINI-GAMES</font>

To give you a break between matches, you will be treated to 3 different Island Mini-Games in which you can unlock alternate SKIP-BO™ card decks. You can choose to use the new deck as soon as you have won it, or you can change decks at any time by selecting Menu in the lower right-hand corner of the game table screen or via the Options menu.&
&HelpPage08XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">Classic SKIP-BO™</font>
In Classic SKIP-BO™, all the standard SKIP-BO™ rules apply. Choose up to 3 opponents to play against and the difficulty level, and get started!

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">Speed SKIP-BO™</font>
Only have time for a quick game? With Speed SKIP-BO™, your STOCK pile will only have 10 cards -- although all other standard rules will apply. Select the number of opponents and difficulty level, and you’re ready to play! 

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">Team SKIP-BO™</font>
All SKIP-BO™ rules remain the same in Team SKIP-BO™ with the following exceptions: 

     In Team SKIP-BO™, you will be paired up with one computer teammate and will play against an opposing 2-player team. Both you and your teammate will have a turquoise glow around your avatar portrait.  
     During your turn, you can play from both your own STOCK and DISCARD piles and from your partner’s STOCK and DISCARD piles. Your computer teammate will also play from your STOCK and DISCARD piles, and the opposing team members will play off each other’s cards. If one teammate’s STOCK pile is used up, that player can continue to play from their remaining DISCARD or BUILDING piles. 
     The goal of Team SKIP-BO™ is to be the first team to use up all the cards in both STOCK piles first!&
&HelpPage09XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">SCORING</font>
As you play, you will be awarded points based on plays that you make in-game. Here is the complete point breakdown system:

<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">• 50 points</font> for playing any non-STOCK pile card on a BUILDING pile. 
<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">• 250 points</font> for playing a STOCK pile card on a BUILDING pile. 
<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">•</font> Every successive card played after the first on each turn gets a point multiplier. The multiplier is equal to the base point value of the card (i.e. 50 or 250 points) times the number of successive moves. For example: 
<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">•</font> If you play a card from your hand for 50 points, the next card that you play is worth 100 points; i.e. 50 points x2. 
<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">•</font>  And if the next card you play is from your STOCK pile, you would earn 750 points; i.e. 250 points x3!
<font color="#00FFFF" size="20">• 500 points</font> for playing all the cards in your hand (not including your discard move)

During a match, your cumulative score can be viewed in the lower right-hand corner of the game table screen.&
&HelpPage10XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">HIGH SCORES</font>

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">SAVING YOUR GAME</font>

If you exit during a match, your match progress will not be saved; only stats from completed matches will be saved and recorded. 

If you load a saved game in Adventure Mode, the game will load the next incomplete match in the progression through the mode.&
&HelpPage13XX=<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">SKIP-BO™ STRATEGIES</font>

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">•</font>  Always play from your STOCK pile first whenever possible.  Then work on getting rid of the cards in your hand and then the cards in your DISCARD pile last.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">•</font>  Start your DISCARD piles with the highest card and discard in descending (not ascending) order so lower cards don’t get trapped underneath them.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">•</font>  Alternatively, discard multiples of the same card in the same DISCARD pile.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">•</font>  Be aware of what is in your opponent’s STOCK pile. Block your opponent from using his STOCK pile cards whenever possible by playing the same card before the opponent takes a turn.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">•</font>  Hold on to your SKIP-BO™ cards until you have a strategic opportunity use them to reduce your STOCK pile.

<font color="#00FFFF" size="24">•</font>  If your STOCK pile shows a SKIP-BO™ card, consider your hand and your DISCARD piles carefully before deciding on which BUILDING pile to place the card so that you leave yourself as many options as possible moving forward.&
