Good game play, good interface, enjoyable and something you can play over and over with no loss of enjoyment.

May 2024

Great strategy game placed in space. Now that I've played enough I can definitely recommend it to those that like Civilization or Endless style.

April 2024

My favorite grand strategy game of all time. I still play a couple times a year.

April 2024

I have been playing this game for well over a decade! I remember buying the disc version as a kid and falling in love with it! If you like TBS games or even RTS games then GET THIS! Its got so much to do.

April 2024

A classic 4X game. If you're looking for a more old school experience in the genre this is a good choice. Not a good game for the impatient, but definitely the type of game you can watch YouTube and play at the same time.
