This is a solid strategy game for 1-4 players. It's one of my family's favorites. It has the same feel as an RTS (building an infrastructure and sending out units to attack and defend) but in a turn-based and compact format. You start with a base hub that can send out a maximum of eight new buildings from it each attached to its parent building by an energy supplying umbilical cord. Some buildings are offensive, others are defensive, and still others can send out more buildings. There are only 18 options each turn from sending out buildings to launching attacks. Very soon you have a sprawling complex of shields and missile launchers which your enemies will carefully chip away at until finally exposing and destroying your main base. The defenses and offenses are well-balanced. This is a very solid strategy game. Lots of fun.
