+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Rogue
+is a computer fantasy game with a new twist. It is crt oriented and the
+object of the game is to survive the attacks of various monsters and get
+a lot of gold, rather than the puzzle solving orientation of most computer
+fantasy games.
+.Pp
+To get started you really only need to know two commands. The command
+.Ic \&?
+will give you a list of the available commands and the command
+.Ic \&/
+will identify the things you see on the screen.
+.Pp
+To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's high
+scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below
+the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Nobody has achieved this
+yet and if somebody does, they will probably go down in history as a hero
+among heroes.
+.Pp
+When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you (by
+some miracle) manage to win,
+.Nm rogue
+will give you a list of the top-ten scorers. The scoring is based entirely
+upon how much gold you get. There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself
+killed.
+.Pp
+If
+.Ar save_file
+is specified,
+rogue will be restored from the specified saved game file.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl s
+option will print out the list of scores.
