Yeap, you can say it's sorta similar. The rules are pretty simple. You have 5 "resources": Infantry, Cavalry, Gold, Wood and Navy. Infantry, Cavalry and Navy are used to attack other provinces. As you take more provinces, you gain whatever the province gives you, on a turn-basis. Obviously, it is recommended that the small countries ally together when facing a larger opponent (As in real life).
You can also do plenty other things like spying or trying to assassinate other characters, etc. When I feel that I can't go on hosting the game, or it reaches a far enough stage with only a few behemoths, I'll call it a day, and we'll calculate who is the winner. Overall, it shouldn't occupy more than two minutes a day, if you aren't gonna get involved in diplomacy and roleplaying with others.
