On one hand, there are the scenarios, which are games created by the community in which you play on certain maps (Japan, United States, Europe, Earth) with a specific number of opponents.
One of the most notable aspects of Freeciv is the large number of customization options available when creating a new game. That said, anyone who has ever played a Civilization game can see that the game is indeed very similar, and the general mechanics are almost identical to any game in Sid Meier's franchise.

For this reason, the game not only has a good tutorial, in which you can learn the basics of the game, but it also has a Wiki with several official manuals depending on the rules you're playing with. The learning curve for the vast majority of 4X (the strategy subgenre to which Freeciv belongs) is usually quite high. But how do you win the game? That's easy: you can either annihilate the rest of the civilizations or build a spaceship to reach Alpha Centauri. New games start in 4000 BC by default, with just one settler and one explorer it's up to you to guide your civilization through the years, centuries, and millennia on your quest to become a dominant world power that's capable of winning the game. The gameplay in Freeciv is very similar to that of the aforementioned Civilization 2, although with some additions and tweaks inspired by the third installment, as well.
Players can play both offline against the artificial intelligence in games that can last for hours, or online against more than 100 human players from all over the world. Freeciv is a free and open source turn-based strategy game that's openly inspired by the Civilization saga or, more specifically, the second and third installments of the franchise.
