+      Castle-Combat is a clone of the old arcade game Rampart.  Up to
+      four players (or more in future versions) build castle walls,
+      place cannons inside these walls, and shoot at the walls of
+      their enemy(s).  If a player cannot build a complete wall around
+      one of his castles, he loses.  The last surviving player wins.
