CONTROLS & INSTRUCTIONS
=======================
ENTER - talk
MOUSE - choose
--
NOTE: This is a 2-player game! If there aren't any open lobbies, feel free to create one or invite a friend. If all else fails, message me on Twitter: @Mach60KAS

Once in game:
_____________________
* Press enter and begin typing to message the other player.
* All controls will appear on screen - click using the mouse to activate them.
* Your goal is to grow your money pile, and earn $5000 before the other player - but there can be a tie. To do this, you must fight over a single pot of gold every turn.
* Every turn, you may choose to Share or to Cheat your opponent.
\--> If you both share, the pot is split evenly.
\--> If you one player cheats, they take the whole pot.
\--> If you both cheat, you lose 1/3 of the pot from your own stash.
To connect to a lobby:
_____________________
* Type ":l" to refresh the list of open lobbies.
* Type ":c example" to create a new lobby, named "example".
* Type ":j testlobby" to join the lobby named "testlobby", if it exists.
=======================
TIPS & TRICKS
=======================
* Try talking to your opponent! Maybe they'll be more likely to share if they feel like they can trust you.
* If you're left with no other choice, open two browser windows and have a lively game against yourself!
* Has the world frozen? Your partner likely disconnected, or changed tab. Try sending a text message to the server - if it doesn't appear on your screen, then your partner has left.
