Description

"Alien Contact: Extraterrestrial Empires in Conflict" is a multi-player strategic wargame of conquest and expansion in a futuristic and uninhabited sector of the galaxy. This is a area movement and resource point based game in which up to six different alien races attempt to colonize star systems and defend their territory. Players can build space stations, space ships, and space marine units to control sectors and systems on the game board. Each race has different environmental requirements which impact the resource values generated by the star systems and which will influence their colonization/military occupation options. Races can engage in technological research to build more advanced units.
