Император Галактики (Emperor of the Galaxy) 2008

The galaxy is in danger! The Galactic Federation is gathering all its forces to deal a crushing blow to the emperor's brutal dictatorship. The empire is also on the alert and is actively calling for an all-season call-in order to give a worthy rebuff and preserve the centuries-old foundations. Soon space will be ablaze.

Up to 4 people can take part in the game, where one will try to defend the interests of the emperor, and the other three will struggle to overthrow him. You will capture colonies, build and expand your fleet, as well as conduct combat operations to impose your regime.

The playing field is a grid of hyper transitions between planets, framed by Events. Each turn, the player rolls the dice and moves through the Events and, if it belongs to his faction, casts it. Then the player has the opportunity to receive and spend money, fly around the galaxy and fight with the enemy.

Players not only move along a grid on the sides of the board, but they also maneuver their fleets and capture planets. Fleets are rated for their movement ability and firepower. When two fleets meet in the same space there is combat.

In combat, the attacker rolls a die and adds the fleet's power to the roll. The number rolled is the number of ships that the defender must lose. Following this, the defender retaliates.

The game features quite a lot of beautiful plastic figurines of ships, which will undoubtedly attract the attention of younger players.
