This project is incompatible with Python 3.

• The installation instructions are written for versions of Python 2.7.9 or later (up to but not including 3)
• Earlier versions of Python are not bundled with pip and will require additional steps to install

To run this game locally requires a minimum of 2 separate browsers

• At least one browser having an "incognito mode" or its equivalent
• The software uses browser sessions to identify players and consequently each player must be playing from a separate browser.

Ensure the correct version of Python is installed (Python 2.7.14)

Ensure the Python path is enabled.

• On Windows, this can be checked by going to:
  • System Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> Path
  • C:\Python27 should be part of that path
