"Star Commander is a fast paced game of galactic domination for two to five players. Each player (Star Commander) attempts to construct a battle fleet of space ships while preventing by any means, fair or foul, the other commanders from building theirs. To create a fleet and keep it requires careful strategy, bold battle tactics, and rapid assessment of opportunities as they present themselves. All the techniques of power politics, bluffs, battles, and sabotage come into play as you expand your command to intersellar supremacy. Good luck!"
