This will describe how to play the game, not how to win. If you want strategy you can look on the forums. There are multiple types of play, however the overall goal is World Domination, or Map Domination. A game consists of 2-9 players. At the very beginning of a game all the territories are split up between each player. It is turn based, meaning you get a turn and at the beginning of that turn you receive troops, then use your troops to attack and try to accomplish goals that will result in your Map or World Domination. A breakdown of a turn is as follows:

Place Armies Phase

You will first click the Begin Turn button. The game will then calculate how many reinforcements you are suppose to receive. You choose which territories you want to put those troops on. The territories must belong to you or a teammate in order to place your reinforcements on them. When you place all of your reinforcements it will immediately take you to the next phase.

Turning in Cards

If you own a set of cards you can turn them in to add to the initial reinforcements. A set is comprised of three (3) cards of the same color or one of each of the following colors: red, green, and blue. Black cards are wild and count as any color. Underlined cards are territories that you own, and turning in that card results in a two (2) armies being added to that territory.

Attack Phase

Now you get to use your armies to attack neighboring territories. Battle results are decided by dice rolls. Remember that one of your troops always stays back as the attacker, so if you attack with 3 troops you only get two dice.

Conquering a Territory

After each battle if you conquered the territory you can move your troops from the attacking territory into the newly conquered territory, again remember one troop must stay behind in the attacking territory. When you are finished attacking click End Attack Phase in the top right corner. Remember that in order to receive a card at the end of your turn you must conquer at least one territory.

Fortify Armies Phase

You can now move your troops around between your connecting territories. How many times you can do that and how far you can move them will depend on the Fortification Settings in your Game's Settings. After this phase your turn will be over and you must wait for your next turn.
