How To Play
This game has two teams. The player whose turn it is will see a tile on top with a number of armies on it. Click to place this tile.
When placing a tile, if it touches any enemy territories with less armies, it will conquer them (turn them the same color). Placing tiles next to your own territories will increase the number of armies on those territories by one.
The objective of the game is to have the most armies when there are no empty spaces left.
At any point, press the "m" key to toggle the music on/off.
At any point, press "Esc" to return to the main menu (this will quit your current game if you're playing one, so be careful!).
