Space Empires 4X (English)

Space Empires is a game in the purest tradition of 4X space games - eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. Each player builds a space empire and uses it to conquer other players. Exploration on the mounted map is easy for players (and dangerous for their ships), revealing different space terrains that affect movement and combat.

Space Empires was developed to keep a rich theme without overly complicated rules. The game includes carriers and fighters, mines, camouflage, a very large tech tree, fifteen ship classes, merchant shipping, colonization, mining, terraforming, bases, shipyards, black holes, warp points, and non-player aliens. Still, 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.
