- 0e0f GALACTIC EMPIRES
+ 3 7 - Overview
+
+ Galactic Empires is a game of intergalactic imperialism. The galaxy is a
+ 20x20 grid containing 45 planets. Each player starts with one home world that
+ produces 10 ships per turn. Each turn you can launch fleets of one or more
+ ships to other planets. Each fleet moves a distance of two spaces the first
+ turn and three every turn thereafter until reaching their destination. It
+ takes 10 turns to go from corner to corner. If there are ships defending the
+ planet, a battle ensues until one side or the other is destroyed. Once a fleet
+ is launched, it can not be recalled from or contacted in hyperspace.
+
+ Each game has between 4 and 9 players. The game progresses until only one
+ player remains. This can take anywhere from 30 turns to 300 (or more). You
+ will not know who your opponents are until after the game starts. You will not
+ be able to leave a game (without being conquered) before the 15th turn.
