Virutual Hotseat You can play a 2-player + AI game over the internet by using remote control software like www.logmein.com (free). Since there is no hidden game information, share your computer desktop over the internet with your friend and play 1830 on one machine. You run 1830 on your PC, your friend remotely sees your desktop on her PC and you take turns controlling the mouse pointer.
Adding additional players is possible but requires internetworking knowledge. I will explain an overview for those who have such knowledge.
Your goal is to setup multiple desktop remote control software servers, one per additional user running your PC, that is going to 1830 PC game. Then permit friends' PCs, running the matching desktop remote control software clients to control your desktop. You can accomplisth this by port forwading or using VPN. Using free VPN software Hamachi is easier way to accomplish this.
You can setup these free desktop remote control softwares, UltraVNC, RealVNC, or Microsoft's RDP for remote control software. You need one remote control software per player added.

Then you you need to let your friends access to you PC by two methods:
1) You can open up your firewall Then you can allow acces to you PC by open up the specific ports that the aforementioned software will be listening on.
2) You can use VPN Setup a virtual private network (VPN) using free software like Hamachi, www.logmeinhamachi.com. Hamich is what the Wargame Room, www.wargameroom.com uses to play various war games. This should be easier of the two methods.
