Help for ohell decks


Usage:  /decks [number|infinite]

By itself, /decks lists the number of decks in use. With a value, a moderator 
can set the number of decks to use. Any number of decks between 1 and 6 is 
valid. Also, "infinite" decks can be set.

Ohell may be played with a single, standard card deck (52 cards), or with 
multiple decks. When several decks are used, the game can become both more 
complicated and more interesting. Also, larger games (in terms of both the 
number of players and the number of rounds) can be supported by using multiple 
decks.

While the number of decks may be changed at any time, it will have no effect 
until the beginning of the next round, when the decks are reshuffled and cards 
are dealt.

When "infinite" decks is selected, there is always a 1 in 52 chance that a given
card will be dealt next, regardless of how many identical cards have already 
been dealt.

"/help ohell cancellation" describes what happens when two (or more) identical 
cards are played in a trick. "/help ohell supertrump" explains the concept of 
supertrump in a game with multiple decks.
