Pioneers  is  an  implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of Catan" board game.  It uses a
       client/server model for networked play. This program provides a  piece  of  network  infrastructure  that
       helps  match pioneers clients to pioneers servers. Casual players of pioneers probably do not need to run
       this program.

       The default settings of the metaserver can be influenced with the following three environment variables:

       PIONEERS_METASERVER
              The  hostname  the metaserver will use when creating new games. This should be a hostname that can
              be resolved by all clients that will connect.

       PIONEERS_SERVER_CONSOLE
              The path (including the filename) to pioneers-server-console.  If it contains only a filename  and
              no path or if it is not set, the PATH variable in the environment is used to locate the program.

       PIONEERS_DIR
              The  path  to  the game definition files.  If it is not set, the default installation path will be
              used.

/usr/share/games/pioneers/*.game
              Game definitions
