==Clients== Freeciv can be played via different clients, the majority of which are in an early stage of development. *Freeciv-gtk3.22, currently the official and most stable client. *Freeciv-sdl2, also official, but yet unstable. *Freeciv-QT *freeciv-web, an online version of Freeciv playable in a web browser.

==Gameplay== There are several ways to win a Freeciv game. The simplest is to wipe out all the enemy players. Another option is to become the first to colonize space. There is also a time limit, so if after a certain amount of time has gone by and no one has won, the player with the highest score wins by default.
