Space Empires is a game in the finest tradition of 4X space
games - eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. Make no mistake. All four
''X's'' are included in this game. This is a wargame where the purpose of
building your empire is not to feel good about your achievement, but to destroy
your enemies and burn their colonies. One difficulty in games of
this genre is that they are often either overly simplistic or tediously
detailed. Space Empires has been almost 20 years in the making and, during that
time, many elegant solutions have been developed to keep the theme rich without
a lot of rules. The game includes carriers and fighters, mines, cloaking, a very
large technology tree, fifteen ship classes from scout to dreadnaught, merchant
shipping, colonization, mining, terraforming, bases, shipyards, black holes,
warp points, and non-player aliens, yet the rules are short and intuitive and
the game can be finished on one sitting. This is NOT a game that is hard to get
into. The playtest rules are only 6 pages long for the basic game and increase
to 10 pages in length when all the advanced rules, optional rules, and scenarios
are included. Exploration is easy (well, easy for you, it is
actually dangerous for your ships) and fun and reveals different terrain (such
as asteroids and nebulas) which affect your movement and your combat. The map is
printed on both sides to make set up easier. One side is used for the 2 player
game and the other side for the 3-4 player game.
