When you use the term Multi-Player, is that the same as a head to head game via e-mail?

Thanks for the answer guys....I'm not sure how it works, so'll have to play around with it the next time that I open the game. I understand that the mechanics for this is a feature built into the game?

Yes. You receive an email notice when your opponent has responded.
You sign into Multiplayer online, you will see that game and any others you are playing.

Game play is much better against a human opponent than against the AI. I prefer multiplayer over single player myself.

Hmmmm........I have just completed my first online game with a buddy of mine, and I am curious about the email notificaition. I have not gotten this. I just had to go in and fire up the game to see if he was done with his turn. How do you get email notification? Also......can you play it in real time........whereby you can see his moves and he mine? Thanks in advance.
