It's an elaborate system made up of row upon row of perfectly chiseled squares, each ruled by either a fool or master strategian.
The Grid is a text-only strategy multiplayer game you play by actually typing in commands. It does feel quite a bit like a boardgame and generally has you capturing squares, building farms, hiring wizards, stealing from your neighbors, inciting revolutions, forming alliances, making pilgrimages and even attempting to bless everyone, while fighting to gather all the resources a powerful master of the grid would need. Great times ahead!
