Creating a Player:

2. Player2=Player(Piece.BLACK)

Creating a Board:

1. Board=Board(n) where n is how many rows of pieces you want the board to have.

You must have numpy installed to run the Game Logic. To do run the following:

1. pip install numpy

To play or test the Game manually:

1. Create your players (player1 and player2) and Board
2. Create the game with your players and Board Two Options to play the game:
3. Either play the Game like you would in the Connect4 example or play using Game.play()

Running the Bot
