+.SH RULES
+.SS Two player mode
+It's just like normal Tetris except that when you clear more than one row with
+a single piece, the other player's board is moved up and junk rows are added
+to the bottom.  If you clear 2, 3 or 4 rows, 1, 2 or 4 junk rows are added to
+your opponent's board, respectively.  The junk rows have exactly one empty
+column.  For each group of junk rows given, the empty columns will line up.
+This is intentional.
+
+The longest surviving player wins the game.
+
+.SS One player mode
+This mode is currently very boring, because there's no scoring and it never
+gets any faster.  This will be rectified at some point.  I'm not very
+motivated to do it right now because I'm sick of one player Tetris.  For now,
+use the "f" key (by default) to make the game go faster.  Speed-ups cannot be
+reversed for the remainder of the game.
