It's so easy:
Choose your game to the left, e.g. click on the icon for "4-in-a-row".
Fill in your and your opponent's name and e-mail-address and click "Start game".
You get an e-mail that shows the game board and tells you how to do your first move.
Just reply to that e-mail and put your move in the first line of your reply (e.g. the number 3, if you decide to put your first token in column 3). Then click on "Send".
Your opponent gets an e-mail with your first move - now it's his turn.
