Space Empires is a game in the finest tradition of 4X space games - eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. Each player builds up a space empire and uses it to conquer the other players. Exploration on the mounted map is simple for players (and dangerous for their ships), revealing different space terrain that affects movement and combat.
Space Empires was developed to keep a rich theme without overcomplicated rules. The game includes carriers and fighters, mines, cloaking, a very large technology tree, fifteen ship classes, merchant shipping, colonization, mining, terraforming, bases, shipyards, black holes, warp points, and non-player aliens. Yet the rules are short and intuitive: The basic rules are 8 pages long and increase to 11 pages in length when the advanced rules are included.
I am a veteran of this game and I still enjoyed this intro video! Please make a follow up video of the advance and expansion additions as they add so much to the game.
I will, absolutely! It is in the works!
How hard is it to play solitaire?
More important, is that way fun to play?
@@bugwar5545 yes, this game shines for solitaire gaming. The doomsday scenarios are easy to play. The alien empire scenario is more involved but there is a really good app that can help manage the clerical work of the "bot" if you don't feel like doing it.
@@cetustau Thanks. However, I found out that it is selling for $74 a copy. It will be a long time before I spend that much for a board game.
@@cetustau what is the app on ANdroid?
Played this on boardgamearena.. Free and so well implemented. And all the fiddly bits all calculated by the computer.. Amazing
Free... For now... Once they're out of beta testing, it will likely move behind the paywall. Enjoy it for free while you still can!
I love some Space 4X, I would love to see some build order content, it feels very RTS like in its slow building with secret fleets. It is good fun to assemble a raiding fleet.
I'll see what content I can do on build order - the only thing is that the tech tree can take a player in a bunch of different directions, so there may not be much of a recommended build order, as it will always depend on the path the player wishes to take.
Just bought this today... seems like a very overlooked GMT game.
I think it's great! Let me know your experience of it!
@@LegendaryTactics ... I can already predict my experience will be troubles getting 4 people to play it :)
Where did you buy it? I can't find any vendors who have it. I'm in Canada so that might be part of the problem. :-(
Would love to get this to the table. Particularly like the decoy mechanics and I don't really need all the fancy-smancy plastic minis.
@@CatLegoDiver sorry...YT seems to remove anything resembling a link.
Look for "Snydepels".
PS: Sorry ... just realized they don't ship cross Atlantic.
@@CatLegoDiver in all good boardgame online stores or directly at GMT games.
Interesting. I will have to investigate further.
Glad to hear it! You won't be disappointed!
@@LegendaryTactics $74 for a copy!?
Ain't gonna be investing in that for awhile. 😠
Where do you get those great planet hex graphics? I have snooped around but not found them.
Like !
Thank you!!
Is there a computerized version of Space Empires?
There is, and it is (for the moment anyway) free to play at boardgamearena.com
Where do you play the online version?
Boardgameareana
Thank you! Beat me to it!
This was recorded on board game arena. You can also play it on vassal, tabletop simulator, and, I believe, tabletopia
