Star Commander (1983)

About this game

"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 interstellar supremacy. Good luck!"

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
