The object of this game is to control more planets by the end of the game than any of your opponents.
To do this, you send out fleets of ships to other stars (each of which has 1 habitable, and perhaps occupied, planet). Your home world has an industrial capacity of 10 ships per year. The worlds you attack may have their own industrial capacity and ships on defense.
Launching Fleets:
- Select the planet of origin
- Select the destination
- Choose the number of ships to send
Fleet Movement:
Fleets travel at a speed of 3 per year (1 turn = 1 year). Separate fleets attack separately, even if they arrive at the same world in the same year. Once a fleet has been launched, its orders cannot be changed.
Simultaneous Turns:
All players submit their orders each turn. Once everyone has submitted, the turn resolves — ships are built, fleets move, and battles are fought.
Solitaire:
To play solo, set the number of years equal to the number of worlds. To win, you must control all planets by the end of the game.
