  <p>The game starts with a grid of objects depending on the size of board
  you select. You can clear the board as follows:</p>
  <list>
    <item><p>You can remove groups of adjacent objects of the same type by clicking
    any tile of the group or by pressing the <key>space bar</key>.</p></item>
    <item><p>Once a group has been removed the objects above them
    fall down to fill the space. If an entire column is cleared then the objects
    slide leftward to fill the gap.</p></item>
  </list>
