If you want to play this game, be sure your terminal window is sized to 120x40 characters.

More specifically; your terminal must be at least 120x40 characters. Larger than that is fine, smaller wont work.

That helps, but it still totally doesn't work for me in iTerm, and I'm not sure why. I basically get sometimes nearly-correct but mostly just messed up rendering.

Are you running Ruby 1.9?

For some reason it has crazy rendering problems in Ruby 1.8, which we haven't got around to debugging yet.

If you're using iTerm2 and the window is sized large enough, it ought to work.

Ah yes, ruby 1.8.7.
