Yup, best turn based strategy ever. Nothing else need be said, this is the still reigning pinnacle of the genre. Also, do yourself a second favour after getting this, also track down a copy of The Jesus Incident by Frank Herbert and Bill Ransom. It's what this game's setting was based on and to some of us it's the best piece of writing Herbert's name was ever attached to. It is the second book in a series but the first book can be ignored as it's almost irrelevant to the rest of the series.
