Explore your own Home system, colonizing planets, accumulating funds and building bases and combat units (Explore/Exploit).The general pattern of game play is (as expected): Players home systems are separated from each other by an (also unexplored) intergalactic no-man’s land, referred to as Deep Space, that is generally dangerous and inhospitable. Each player starts off on his own Home World surrounded by nearby, but unexplored, Home systems. It’s a standard 4X game (Explore, Expand, Exploit & Exterminate… hence the “4X” in the title) with a space theme overlay. As it’s been quite a while since a major war game company has published a “space war game”, we were looking forward to the release of GMT Games’ Space Empires 4X, and got it on the table soon after publication.
A few of the guys at my gaming group, myself included, are quite partial to space-themed board games.
