Freeciv doesn't have a hotseat mode, where players are forced
to move one after another.  You have to run a separate civclient
for each player and take turns voluntarily.  It is a little
bothersome to change clients between turns without players
seeing each others' views, but it is possible.

It would not be very difficult to add support for hotseat mode.
Do you really think it will be playable?  The game would
last too long for me.
