Description from the publisher: Explore the galaxy in Stellar Leap! Take on the role of an alien species as you discover new planets and complete missions in this family-friendly space exploration game. Become the most prestigous alien species in the galaxy by completing missions, discovering new planets, increasing population, and fulfilling your hidden trait’s objective. Objective Be the player with the most prestige at the end of the game. During your turn perform two High Command actions such as increasing your population, taxing for more resources, discovering a planet, or attacking your opponents. You also have the following Division Actions at your disposal that can be activated once per turn: Labor, Intelligence, and Mining. These Actions may be taken in any order you choose. Variable Player Powers mean that you can manipulate the planets that generate resources each turn in different ways than your opponent can, which leads to different strategies for each power. Are you going to team up with your opponents so that everyone gets resources on your turn or will you attack them and cause them to scatter to other parts of the galaxy? Game altering events are triggered by player actions and can have minor or lasting effects, usually being better for the player that triggered the event. Game End The game ends after the sixth event and the round is completed. The player with the most total prestige is declared the winner!
