<h2>
Tips &amp; Tricks
</h2>

<ul>

<li>
Open a separate browser tab or window for each side when playing solo.

<li>
Use the middle mouse button to drag and scroll around the map.

<li>
Hold down the Shift key when mousing over a block or counter in order to magnify it.

<li>
The <i>Enter</i> and <i>Escape</i> keys open and close the chat box.

<li>
To invite your friends to a private game, send them the address of the join page.

<li>
Chat messages can only be seen by players who are part of a game.
They are hidden from observers.

<li>
The <img src="/images/cog.svg"> menu has links to rules, player aids and other reference material.
In some games you can also choose between alternative graphics and layout options.

<li>
The <img src="/images/earth-africa-europe.svg"> button hides all counters and markers,
if you need to check something on the map that is obscured.

<li>
The <img src="/images/magnifying-glass.svg"> button shrinks the map to fit the screen width.

<li>
The <img src="/images/scroll-quill.svg"> button hides the game log and player status displays, so you can
see more of the map.

<li>
The <img src="/images/chat-bubble.svg"> button lights up if you have unread chat messages.

<li>
The <img src="/images/cycle.svg"> button appears when the game is over, and can be used to quickly start a rematch.

</ul>
