About this game

Subtitled: Tactical Ship Combat in the 29th Century, Starpower is the first game in the "Four Empires Series". It is a tactical science fiction miniatures game played on a large surface. It uses pre-written orders for each turn. There are minimal special abilities for the four "empires". The game ships in a ziplock bag including a 32-page rulebook with advanced and optional rules, information on the four empires, and fleet compositions. Also included are reproducible ship miniatures and status sheets, an order sheet, a boarding template, tables, and counters for boarding parties and small craft.
