There is no AI, so at the moment, you need to find some other people
to play the game with.  One of the players has to start up the server,
then set the number of players in the game.  The current version is
optimally set up for three or four players.  Once you have set the
number of players, you press the Start Server button.  This gets the
server listening for client connections.

As clients join the game, the map is retrieved from the server.  Once
the number of players configured in the server have joined the game,
the game enters setup phase.  You would be able to figure the game out
from playing around.  I suspect that people who have played the board
game would feel right at home at this point.

At some point in the not too distant future, I will have to write a
small introduction to playing the game.  There are a number of sites
on the Internet which describe strategies to use in the game.

is one to look at.
