Star Empires (1987)

ByMichail

Star Empires

Star Empires is a science fiction board wargame that was published by TSR in 1977. It was designed by John M. Snider and is the second of an intended trilogy of interrelated science-fiction games, the first being Star Probe. The third game was never released. The game is set in a universe where humans have colonized worlds other than Earth, and players take on the role of leaders of interstellar empires competing for control of the galaxy.

Why is Star Empires Popular?

Star Empires was released at a time when science fiction was gaining popularity, and it was well-received by reviewers. The game’s popularity may have been influenced by the success of the Star Wars franchise, which was released around the same time. Star Empires is significant because it was one of the first science fiction board games to emerge as its own new field.
