[SGVLUG] OT: BBS Game

[Braddock Gaskill via SGVLUG]

Hi Claude,
The instructions historically were only accessible within the game.

Here they are:
https://github.com/braddockcg/dominions/blob/master/src/DOM141M/Instruct.Dom

It is a stellar conquest game.  There is almost no trace of it online and
finding the source and the classic zips necessitated a friend tracking down
the original author on LinkedIn.  We are trying to create a github archive
of all available versions and source to keep this piece of software history
alive.

It is a lot of fun once you get into it!
