From 2 to 4 players can participate in the game. At least one of them must be a human. The goal of the game is to have the biggest capital by its end (money + shares in their value). A player can create and expand his corporations, carry out mergers (a bigger corporation overtakes smaller ones), sell shares and buy shares, create corporations germs that can be added to a corporation later on. A player can buy or sell shares only after having created a corporation. He can do so too if he has expanded his corporation or merged with another one. A corporation can be created either near a star or near a corporation germs. No more than five corporations can exist at a time, each of them has its own logo on the map. The share rates of the corporations situated near stars are higher. To expand a corporation one should choose a step in its neighbourhood. As soon as a corporation is expanded its share rates grow. If a corporation is being expanded near a star its share rates are higher than those of other corporations.
The game consists of game rounds. During a round each player makes one move. One should choose four free cells on the map and pick only one from them that he wishes. At the beginning of each round the shares of one corporation are likely to be devided. The number of shares of such corporation doubles and the share rates decrease by half. If share rates are equal to zero such a corporation is declared bankrupt. The shares of the bankrupted corporation are eliminated. Each player receives dividends at the end of every game round. If a corporation hasn't been expanded during five game rounds its share rates decrease. If such corporations are on the verge of bankrupcy they pay smaller dividends or don't pay them at all. Share rates of this corporation will be falling until it is either expanded or declared bankrupt.
