+Welcome to Hex Curler!
+======================
+This game is based on Jeff Moore's Hex (http://www.1km1kt.net/rpg/hex).
+Source code: gitlab.com/m-chrzan/hex-curler
+
+How to Play
+===========
+If you're not using it already, run this line of bash to start playing:
+
+c=; while clear; curl -c k -b k localhost:4567/$c; read c; [ $c ]; do :; done
+
+You're about to start crawling through a dungeon, fighting monsters and finding
+treasure. Your character has three attributes:
+  - Health
+  - Endurance
+  - eXperience
+
+After each move you'll be presented with a menu of options that could look
+something like this:
+  >[r]un away
+  >[f]ight (-1 H, -1 E, 1 X)
+
+Select a move by typing the highlighted letter and hitting enter (e.g. type r if
+you want to [r]un away like a wuss).
+
+Numbers in parentheses tell you how your attributes will be affected by taking
+a given action.
+
+To restart the game, run `rm k` to remove the cookie that stores your game state.
